Dartmoor. People get lost out there. Its wide expanse is a national park. See the location, at Devon, near Cornwall - www.dartmoor-npa.gov.uk/.There are paths, and we started down one of them, and found this isolated cross, with a road sign pointing to it, "Bennet's Cross." That is one of many crosses of different kinds that were used to marks certain boundaries, or provide a landmark, or is named after the person with tin rights to the area at an early time: see Bennet's Cross at www.dartmoor-crosses.org.uk/bennet.htm.
That site carries the full listing and explanation for all the Dartmoor Crosses. Vast spaces.
"The Hound of the Baskervilles," with Sherlock Holmes (by author Conan Doyle) took place here. Sherlock's statue and museum are in London, not far from Madame Tussaud's. See London post here.
