Yellam

Grid ref: SX 7144 8699

Yellam is a listed building of grade II* status, situated on Dartmoor. The name suggests a dwelling or settlement of some antiquity, and the building's architectural character points to medieval or early modern origins, though it has been adapted and maintained over centuries as part of moorland life.

Today the structure stands as a marker of how people have inhabited and worked Dartmoor's edges for generations. For those walking the moor or exploring its scattered heritage, Yellam offers a quiet reminder of the moorland's long history of settlement and the practical buildings that supported upland communities.
