Walk will be led by Dartmoor Guide Emma Cunis, followed by a delicious homemade Ploughman’s lunch inside the beautiful Georgian house where you can see the domed ceiling with lantern, and an unusual plaster frieze depicting the Princetown Tramway, plus ask questions of tenant farmer Justine Colton.
