Widecombe-in-the-Moor is a picturesque Dartmoor village famous for its "Cathedral of the Moors" (St. Pancras Church) and the folk song "Widecombe Fair," immortalizing its annual September fair, Uncle Tom Cobley, and his grey mare. Legend and history intertwine, with tales of a devastating 1638 thunderstorm (possibly ball lightning, linked to the Devil in folklore) and ghost stories, all set against the dramatic backdrop of Dartmoor's landscapes, attracting tourists year-round to its charming green, shops, and pubs.
