Bowerman's Nose Dartmoor National Park in Winter. XPL 4707-441
Over a thousand years ago a mighty hunter named Bowerman lived upon the Moor. One day, in eager pursuit of a hare he ran through a coven of witches, who were in mid-ritual. The angry witches decided to punish him for his disrespect. The next time he went out hunting, one of them turned herself into a hare and led him a merry dance across the Moor until he was completely exhausted. She and her coven sisters then turned him into the rock now known as Bowerman's Nose and his hounds into the rocks at the top of Hound Tor.
