Drive between Princetown and Moretonhampsteadand you will pass what is possibly the most famous Inn on Dartmoor.
The Warren House Inn stands isolated and remote high on Dartmoor.
At 1425ft (434m) above sea level, it is the highest Inn in Southern England and also said to be the loneliest.
Originally built to serve the busy local tin mining community, the Inn was always a favourite resort with miners from neighbouring Tin Mines, including Golden Dagger, Vitifer and Birch Tor Mines.
During this time it must have been a bustling place with the mining and passing travellers.
The last commercial mine (Golden Dagger) was closed in 1930 thus leaving the Warren House Inn lonely and exposed. It survives today on passing trade and tourism.
