Historic Churches of Dartmoor

Dartmoor's landscape is dotted with centuries of ecclesiastical history, from the 12th-century Benedictine Buckfast Abbey to remote granite structures perched on high peaks. Notable sites include St Michael de Rupe, situated atop a volcanic tor, and the 'Cathedral of the Moor' at Widecombe-in-the-Moor. These buildings showcase distinctive Devon architecture, including Perpendicular Gothic towers, medieval rood screens, and historic links to local mining and monastic traditions across the rugged moorland.
