I lived in debbun for 10 year. Brixham, which has some interesting stones and barrows.
In Totnes they say that half the town is fast asleep and the other half go around on tippy toes so as not to wakem up!
My fav saying from Dartmoor is "If you see's the Devil anywhere on Dartmoor then you bought him here with you"

We got some interestin' stan'ing stones roight here in sunny Plymouth: them all wear that Burberry, an' grunt at each other when the sun strikes 'em.
Seriously though, Dartmoor has a fine crop (the Merrivale Plague Market and Grimspound are personal faves - and Grimspound has the Warren House Inn close by (we're back to pubs again!) - its a huntin' pub (an' I ain't gonna say nuffin to tha' for fear of bein' a bit anti) and has a fire that (apparently) has been lit for something like 200 years (if I remember rightly), and if the day is cold and crisp, so much the better for being out amongst it (knowing there's a pub to fall back on (and out of!). Dartmoor isn't the Megalithic arena of the Avebury/Silbury setting, but you have to give the people who put these things out there a big hand (and we don't get the incessant noise of Lyneham like Avebury does!).
