Acknowledgement: This sacred pool was mentioned by Tom Greeves in Dartmoor Magazine, Issue 137, Winter 2019 with an NGR. The ‘pool’ in question is small but quite deep. The head of the West Okement River is here, too, or extremely close by depending on the source (no pun intended!) you read.

Cranmere Pool is the site of Dartmoor’s first letterbox, put here by James Perrot in 1854. From there it took off to become one of Dartmoor’s most well-known and celebrated activities.
