Yennadon Cross: a wayside cross 340m south of Peekhill
Devon
Yennadon Cross is a wayside cross of medieval origin, one of several that once guided travellers across the high moorland of Dartmoor. These crosses marked important routes and gathering places on open ground where landmarks were few. The cross stands in the landscape much as it has for centuries, a modest but purposeful structure.
Visitors walking the moor in this area will find it a quiet marker of the old ways that crossed Dartmoor. The monument is a scheduled site, recognising its importance to understanding how people moved through and used the moorland. It sits in a landscape little changed since medieval times.
