Take a look at Adrian's articles about life in Dartmoor

Regular readers will know that I am an avid follower of Adrian Colston who is the National Trust manager for Dartmoor and who issues a daily blog about his work and pleasure activities.

The area around Rookwood Cottage is frequently featured by Adrian.  Much has been spoken about the huge forest area of Fingle Wood recently purchased by the National Trust and the Woodland Trust.  Fingle Wood is a short walk away from Rookwood albeit there is a steep climb back up the hill from Fingle Bridge to go home!

Recently Adrian also wrote about "One of the wonders of Dartmoor, the National Trust's Castle Drogo near Drewsteignton".   The link between Castle Drogo and Julius Drewe's Home and Colonial Stores is fascinating take at look at the full article Adrian's blog
