North Bovey Any photo of North Bovey is worthy of calendar material.It's a truly chocolate box village in
the heart of Dartmoor. Watching the swallows weaving in and out of the trees, just above ground level on the village green in the late afternoon will be a lasting memory for me. Do visit St. John the Baptist church. With it's magnificent arched vaulted ceiling and a 15th century carved screen. I took the wedding photos for a local girl here in 1998 and
was staggered at how beautiful the inside of the church is. In summer you might find sheep in the churchyard,
the country way of keeping the grass down. Walk along this same road to the river Bovey and indulge in a paddle in
the shallow water by the picturesque walkway at the side of country meadows. Great walk of around 8 miles from
the
village to Manaton, through, and then eastwards to Nutcracker Rocks, on to Hunter Tor then Barne court before walking back into North Bovey. A good map will show you the route and the shorter circular walk within that walk.
