Sanders

Devon

Sanders stands as a substantial stone building in the Dartmoor landscape, its name suggesting its origins as a dwelling or farmstead. Listed at Grade I, it represents an important survival of historic building practices on the moor, with architecture and fabric that speak to centuries of moorland habitation and land use.

Today the building remains a marker of Dartmoor's settled history, evidence of how people have lived and worked in this high, exposed terrain. Visitors walking the moor will find it a tangible connection to the landscape's past, a reminder that what appears wild was long ago managed and inhabited by those who made their lives here.
