More about this scene

Travelling here in 1871 would not have been a venture to take lightly: it was nearly fifteen miles' distance on unmade roads from Ashburton. The owner of this cottage may well have supplemented his income by providing a yoke of oxen to help pull carriages up the steep eastern bank of the Dart.
