High granite ridges and the pale dust of industry define the solitary character of Lee Moor. It lies 4.9 miles north-north-east of Sherford (from Sherford: bearing 14°T, OS grid SX 571 615), and is situated east of Wotter village. Heavy white kaolin clouds often hang in the air here, a lingering ghost of the china clay works that have long carved deep, geometric scars into the earth. To the south-east, the quiet slopes of the Torycombe Valley offer a reprieve from the stark, industrial geometry of the pits. Ancient markers remain scattered across the rugged terrain, including the Two Round Barrows On Ridding Down, which sit like silent, humped sentinels watching over the shifting horizon. The wind moves with an unhindered, sharp intent across the high ground, rattling the gorse and scouring the exposed stone. Lee Moor remains a place of profound physical honesty, where the raw extraction of the landscape is laid bare beneath an immense and indifferent Devon sky.
