Our Land Flows…from Peat to Pipe

We all drink water!   

We are delighted to announce we have been awarded a funding grant from Dartmoor National Park’s Farming in Protected Landscapes (FIPL) fund that will support walks, talks and activities in which we learn from the farming, rural and urban communities and many organisations that are involved in delivering our tap water.   

Dartmoor Preservation Association‍ has also given a grant towards this project for encouraging more people to help conserve this landscape heritage.  The moor’s varied landscape and habitats all flow with water, from peat bogs and mires to the deep river valleys. We will be focusing on the history and heritage of the leats that were constructed hundreds of years ago to transport water to power the working mills and mines, and for drinking in the towns and cities nearby.
