Description

High up at some 1800 feet in the great wilderness of Dartmoor there lies a saucer-like depression of oozing bog named on the map as Cranmere Pool. As its name implies this was once a large pool of water which has now dispersed through the numerous rills that have been cut around it and, lying as it does in remote isolation, it has nothing to offer but the sheer wildness of its location and its utter sense of loneliness.
