Haytor Granite Tramway

Haytor Vale

A tramway built by George Templer in 1820 to carry granite from the Haytor Quarries down to the Stover Canal at Ventiford, a fall of about 1,300 feet over roughly ten miles. Unusually, its rails were grooved granite setts rather than iron, cut and laid directly into the moor.
