BBC Radio 4 - Ramblings, Series 40, Dartmoor, Devon

Dartmoor is the walking territory of writer Tom Cox, author of 21st  Century Yokel

Clare Balding joins the writer Tom Cox whose nature and walking books and essays reflect the countryside through very different and humorous eyes.

Clare Balding meets the writer Tom Cox for a walk on Dartmoor, the setting for many of his musings on walking and nature that are a humorous sometimes spooky take on the countryside and the creatures that inhabit it.  His book 21st Century Yokel is full of Devon folklore, haunted landscapes and humorous observations about the people and animals he encounters. Their walk takes them from Manaton Church near Bovey Tracey up to Bowerman's Nose and Hound Tor, stopping off to pay their respects at the grave of Kitty Jay a 17th century farm girl along the way.

Producer: Maggie Ayre
