Upper Plym Valley
From Wikishire
The Upper Plym Valley carries the young but swelling steam of the River Plym through Dartmoor, in the moorland part of the Plym Valley, a small valley but one of great contrasts.
The landscape of the Upper Plym Valley is particularly noted for a large array of archaeological sites, ranging from prehistoric Drizzlecombe to 19th century Eylesbarrow Mine.
In an area of six square miles of Dartmoor landscape, the Upper Plym Valley contains some three hundred Bronze Age and mediæval sites. The sites are in the care of English Heritage.
