Haytor viewed from Hound Tor, Dartmoor National Park
Hound Tor is a great area to explore as it has so much for the imagination, and not only as the inspiration for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles, where Sherlock Holmes is required to solve the mystery of a man killed by a ghostly, ferocious hound here.
Easily visible from the main car park, a relatively gentle walk up to the Tor enables you to explore the many different viewpoints from within the series of rock granite formations. Going over the peak of the hill you are rewarded with this view, where you can see Haytor clearly in the distance, its iconic silhouette easily recognisable.
The native Dartmoor ponies are often to be found gathered in groups, grazing or sheltering when the weather is harsh. On this particular day there were several groups of ponies including young foals, enjoying the grazing on Hound Tor. It was great to be able to include them in my illustration as they are such a recognisable and important part of the moor.

My Local Landmarks series are a collection of hand-drawn illustrations that I have chosen to draw because they mean something to me - maybe I just love a building or the character, or have memories of fun family trips there, or I think they represent my home county of Devon in an interesting way.
I have illustrated them in pencil then pen and ink, with all the characterful features explored in beautiful detail.
This print will be treasured for years to come and will certainly make a talking point!
A4 sized prints, supplied unframed so you can frame them to suit your interior.
