Cranmere Pool and the first moorland letterbox on Dartmoor
Cranmere Pool, a small depression, in a remote area of Dartmoor, is where the first 'letterbox' and the outdoor hobby of 'letterboxing' started.
Letterboxing is similar to Geocaching, except clues, map coordinates, or compass bearings are used to find hidden treasures.
