Sheepstor
Attractive hamlet, surrounded by meadows and woodland. Small church overshadowed by red sarcophagus in cemetery, tomb of White Rajah of Sarawak who retired to Burrator House on village outskirts. Strange 17thC carving above church porch, elaborate bench ends depict Christianity's history. Nearby Burrator Reservoir ideal setting for wildlife, walking and cycling. Sheeps Tor to north and Drizzlecombe to east, with fascinating prehistoric remains.
