Brimley Vale
A housing development on the west of Bovey Tracey. The grit bin is needed as the slope leads to a bridge which becomes icy in winter.

Pottery Pond, Bovey Tracey
Pottery Pond is artificial. It was excavated to provide a source of water for five waterwheels used by the local pottery industry. The clay that was excavated was used for fine pottery including Wedgwood's "Blue Ware". Now the pond is a wildlife sanctuary

Templer Way near Pottery Pond
A contrast in outbuildings as the Way (the line of the Haytor Granite Tramway) follows Bovey Tracey Bridleway 35. The marker stone lying at an angle just past the green shed may be a remnant of the tramway.

Bovey Tracey: Pottery Pond
The pond was originally fed by a long leat from the Becka Brook up on Dartmoor, several miles away. In turn the pond powered machinery at Higher Mill, and probably Lower Mill too. These mills were part of the Bovey Pottery, which was expanded under the management of Mr Divett in the 1850s
