For more than 100 years, Foggintor Quarry was one of three large Dartmoor granite quarries providing stone for landmarks such as Nelson’s Column. Now the moor has reclaimed this once industrial landscape.
The quarry is now a still, deep lake, great for wild swimming (so I'm told). Long abandoned and wild again.

Cross Gate Cross ~ name taken from the spot at which it now stands, which derives its name from the cross! Original position unknown, perhaps Leathertor Cross mentioned in 1750. What remained was re-erected by Victorian antiquarians on a later shaft.
It lies near the road that goes past Lowery Cross, a mile or so west, emphasising the role of many of these crosses as marking medieval routes across the moor. Taken in December.
To support the large #stained-glass #windows, it has the classical #FlyingButtresses.
This is the usual view of #ExeterCathedral, which is nearing 1000 years in age. It holds the record that its #nave has the longest uninterrupted gothic vaulting in the world. Being in the middle of the city, just off the high street, it’s really easy to get to on foot or by #bike.

Today is St Petroc's Day, and St Petroc is the patron saint of Devon. To celebrate, here is a picture taken on a gloomy evening at the Devon seaside. That orange buoy on the left is actually no such thing - it's a poor football, lost to the waves.
