When you're visiting the highest pub in Southern England - the Warren House Inn - you really appreciate having windproof glasses

This famous Inn stands at 1,425 feet at the top of an exposed ridge high up in Dartmoor. I went there on Sunday for a coffee and one of their famous flapjacks and then walked over to Hookery Tor and back.
