To set the scene for the Granite Elements project there will be an illustrated talk by Dartmoor author Dr Tom Greeves on 'Dartmoor's granite legacy- People and place '.

This will be followed by an opportunity for people interested in the project to get together and share ideas over afternoon tea. 

Granite Elements will use a series of walks, talks, demonstrations and workshops to explore the Granite Tramway around Bovey Tracey. Local groups will be researching the heritage of the Granite being quarried at Haytor this underpins the project and how it has  impacted on the local community.
Local artists' responses to the Granite Tramway will be exhibited in key places around Bovey Tracey as will the findings from the research.

The legacy will be a better understanding of how the Granite Tramway affects our community and how it needs to be looked after for future generations to continue to enjoy.
