Many thanks for stopping by to follow me in my photographic endeavors. To share with you the beautiful sights that we have around us that we tend to miss and take for granted. Stop right here for a while whilst we go on a little journey. To share with you some of the most beautiful scenes that I have capture on my photographic journey’s………
Dartmoor National Park in the South of England, UK is a very special place for me and my partner to visit. It has some wonderful hidden treasures here and there is so much beauty to explore, more than I could ever dream of visiting in my lifetime, unfortunately.
One of those special places at Dartmoor National Park that we love to visit is Bellever Forest (pictured left)
Bellever is not just a forest or woodland, but so much more.
Bellever has a wonderful array of wildlife as well as some amazing farmland, most of which you are allowed to pass through and take in some wonderful scenery. Laughter Farm is such a farm and well worth a visit and whilst you are near by, you may want to take a look at Bellever and Laughter Tor’s.
Bellever also has a river flowing beside it and some great places to sit on a warm summers day to picnic with the family and relax
More about Bellever Woods and it’s surroundings can be found at Wikipedia.

Now, me being called Jay was kind of freaked out when I heard this story.
Jay’s Grave (or Kitty Jay’s Grave) is supposedly the last resting place 
of a suicide victim who is thought to have died in the late 18th century. It has become a well-known landmark on Dartmoor, Devon, in South-West England, and is the subject of local folklore, and several ghost stories.
The small burial mound is at the side of a minor road, about 1 mile (1.6 km) north west of Hound Tor, at the entrance to a green lane that leads to Natsworthy. Fresh flowers are regularly placed on the grave, although no-one admits to putting them there.
The Legend
The grave is believed to contain the bones of an orphan called Kitty Jay (some reports name her as Mary Jay), who worked at Canna Farm near the village of Manaton. As a teenager, she was apparently raped by a young farmhand and became pregnant. Such was her shame that Kitty Jay hanged herself in a barn, or, according to a different version of the story, from the great kitchen fireplace lintel.
