Widecombe in the Moor
Widecombe in the Moor (/ˌwɪdɪkəm ... ˈmʊər/) is a village and large civil parish in Dartmoor National Park in Devon, England. Its church is known as the Cathedral of the Moors on account of its tall tower and its size, relative to the small population it serves. It is a favourite tourist centre, partly for its scenic character and partly for its connection to the popular song "Widecombe Fair".
