For todays Wild Words recording, Helen Bruce reads an abridged extract from 'The Green Hill: Letters to a Son' by Sophie Pierce.
This was filmed near #Princetown and the words take the listener on a journey of joy, reflection and grief, all deeply rooted in place.

Did you know, on #Dartmoor, there are 12 granite corbels, carved for the widening of London Bridge (yes, the bridge the song is about). You can see those and more in this video about #cycling the old #Princetown railway.

Finally on 'Winter wonderland' week, is a beautiful winter sunset at a snowy Nun's Cross Farm near #Princetown - to get there meant a tough 3 hour walk through snowdrifts up to my knees! Worth the effort though, as everything came together to make one of my best photos ever.... Hope you agree?

Morning! π
Next on 'Winter wonderland' is the 2nd snowfall of the week, which left at least 20cm of level snow and was probably one of the best snowfalls on the moor for quite a few years! This was #Princetown Church as the late afternoon sun lit up the snow covered churchyard....
Our CEO, Tom Usher, speaks to BBC news about the threat of closure for the #Princetown Visitor Centre in #Dartmoor,
