On Wednesday 18th May the Dartmoor Society welcomed 26 Members and their guests at Fingle Bridge Car Park where everyone enjoyed a fantastic walk led by David Rickwood, Manager of the Dartmoor Woodlands for the Woodlands Trust.
The skies cleared so that we were all able to enjoy some very welcome warm sunshine whilst we walked and also experienced both the historical and very beautiful surroundings.
At present the woods are undergoing extensive restoration management and all the attendees had the benefit of seeing the Spring growth on the trees and all the flora just bursting into life. Everyone agreed it had been a truly spectacular afternoon.
