‘Opening Up Emsworthy’ was Manaton’s first Parishscapes project. The aim was to build boardwalks, fences and gates, and clear dense scrub, in order to allow visitors to access and delight in the whole of this beautiful site on Dartmoor. Local communities have been helping to install bridges, boardwalks, fencing and steps to provide access to riverbank areas.
This project is funding the restoration of the Ten Commandment Stones.
Bovey Tracey launched its Granite Elements Parishscape project on Tuesday 1st March at the splendid Colehayes Field Studies Centre. The project aims to bring together artists, historians and the local community to celebrate Dartmoor’s granite heritage by shining a light on the old granite tramway which ran from Haytor Quarry all the way down to Stover Canal. Despite being built in 1820 it is still visible in many places and the project will get people walking along parts of it, there will be clean up tasks and there will be an exhibition of artists' work to be held at the Devon Guild of Craftsmen.
