Nun's Cross Farm | England Photo Spot
Share this Page
Steeped in history and brimming with character, Nuns Cross Farm in Dartmoor National Park is a must-visit for photographers seeking to encapsulate the essence of rural England. Built by hand in the 1870s by John Hooper and his wife using locally sourced stones, this old farmhouse bears the imprints of time, from its weather-beaten walls to its rustic charm. Though abandoned between 1929 and the 1940s, its compelling architecture and the surrounding rugged moorland form a striking contrast, presenting countless unique photographic opportunities. The farm, once used by the military, has many ghostly tales woven into its history, adding a mystic allure. The nearby wild ponies, expansive moorland, and scattered granite boulders offer additional elements for intriguing compositions. For the most atmospheric shots, consider visiting during different seasons and during the golden hours of sunrise or sunset. As the farm is tucked away in a remote corner of the park, ensure you have an accurate map or GPS.
