Drewsteignton

Drewsteignton is a village, civil parish and former manor within the administrative area of West Devon, England, also lying within the Dartmoor National Park.

Visitor attractions in the area include the village centre itself, nearby Castle Drogo, and Fingle Bridge.

T'other day Varmer Dadd killed a peg, and gied the natlins to the poor of the parish.

Census information indicates that Drewsteignton underwent prolonged depopulation through the 19th century, and many of its buildings have remained largely unchanged since then.

A number of workers were employed and seven cottages, bakery and blacksmith's workshop made up Wynbeam Cross and Kiln Village to the south of the workings.

Previously known as The Druids' Arms, the name was changed in the 1920s when Julius Drewe built Castle Drogo, his family home.

[16] Sculptor Peter Randall-Page lives nearby, and a number of his works can be viewed in the area, including the bench, table and bird bath in the village's community garden.

However, its location on the northern edge of Dartmoor means the weather can be very changeable, with frequent mist and drizzle.
