I went past this old trackway near Peter Tavy on Wednesday, took a photo at the entrance, and then did some research into it….its called Horndon clam lane and runs down the Tavy river valley from Horndon across the ‘clam’ bridge and then comes up the other side of the valley about a mile from Peter Tavy. Clam bridges were basic wooden bridges crossing water courses, the newer Horndon one now is metal. 1/2

This old lane, or Holloway would have been used by miners going to the various mine works in the area and by agricultural workers and local residents. Even though it’s not accessible for me with no parking nearby and a steep climb up and down I like to imagine how it was used in past centuries 🙂, western Dartmoor, Devon. 2/2.
