War Horse bowled me over a while back when I saw the first stage production at The National Theatre. The puppet horses were the stars then. Now with the film, glorious England is the star - notably Dartmoor and Castle Combe. I know them well as I've pedalled through both locations with our tours in Devon and the Cotswolds. We're planning a guided tour of all the War Horse fim locations for those who want to be driven through the stunning landscapes, villages and historic houses used in the film. But if you have just a half day and are in the Dartmoor vicinity then go to
www.moorlandguides.co.uk for a guided walk by a Dartmoor Ranger or to
Shilstone Rocks Stud for a ride on 4 legs.
