About the book >.>.> And still when one gets nearer to the moor itself even allowing for the roads and stone walls such obvious evidence of the hand of man one may travel some way and be forgiven for assuming that at any rate very little human influence has penetrated to this lonely remote- ness where hillside upon hillside shows no sign of habitation and where the rivers tumble down in their lovely time-carved beds. And yet if one stops and explores but a little way the chances are that some relic of a bygone industry will present itself. A clapper bridge or a gatepost may appear as a monumental reminder of the work which went into the treatment of surface stone and the wide variety of uses to which it was put centuries ago. The undula- very tions upon which one comfortably settles for a picnic beside the stream or river of one’s choice are as likely as not the spoil left by tinners who scoured this and so many of the valleys in days gone by changing the whole appearance of the valley floor as they went.
