Seen from a path descending Meldon Hill. "Padley Common is a 13 hectare area of land owned by the parish council and forms part of Chagford Commons. It is an area of purple moor grass and rush pasture and provides important habitats for many species, including the marsh fritilliary butterfly, the reed bunting and woodcock and is grazed by cattle and Dartmoor ponies." http://www.gov-news.org/gov/uk/news/natural_england_supports_community_action/52318.html Above, beside Chagford Open Field (see Image), is housing on New Street, Chagford.
