Here also starts (or ends) the Venford Reave. The ruins of this medieval farmstead are spread either side of the Venford Reservoir enclosure fence, but stiles enable access. Pictured is the longhouse which is inside the fence.

Reference: Steve Grigg, on his Dartmoor Explorations website, has written an excellent blog about the various items of interest to be seen here, found at Venford Medieval Farmstead.

This medieval farmstead is in such good condition today because it was cleared over many years by Paul Rendell and other volunteers.
