If you enjoy this website you are sure to enjoy "The Book of Shaugh Parish" published October 2008. An unashamedly nostalgic return to the area, the book contains stories and memories , including over 250 photographs of the people who have lived, worked or visited the area.

The Book of Shaugh Parish

Available from all good book sellers or if you want a signed copy, from the author.

Welcome one and all. If you have never heard of, or visited the Shaugh area here's your chance to find out about a Parish on the edge of Dartmoor in Devon. Why you may ask? The truth of the matter is that I'm a sentimental old softie who loves the area and because I've been given lots of old photographs of the district I decided to create this site so others could share my pleasure.

However enough of the waffle.

These pages contain photographs and videos of the Shaugh Prior, Lee Moor, Wotter and Shaugh Bridge The parish is on the south west slopes of Dartmoor, between 8 and 12 miles from Plymouth, depending where you are, and located between the villages of Bickleigh and Cornwood.

I have split the web pages into 6 areas.

If you are not interested in reading about the history

you can view all the pictures and videos here!

On each page I have provided links to other pages which may be of interest to the viewer. None of the links to other pages are in any way connected to me.

To start you off have a look at the video below. It is a modern day tour of the Shaugh area that I made to go along with my first book, "Memories of Childhood, Growing up at Shaugh Bridge" At present there are no more copies of this book available
