Poundsgate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Poundsgate is a small village on the road between Ashburton and Princetown, towards the eastern side of Dartmoor, Devon, in the United Kingdom. It has a small shop and post office, and a few cottages clustered around a popular stopping point for travellers, the Tavistock Inn, which is thought to date back to the 13th century. It takes its name from the pound situated on the left-hand side of the road just past the village when travelling toward Princetown. It is situated in the ecclesiastical parish of Leusdon, the civic parish of Widecombe and within the Manor of Spitchwick.
It is even said to have been visited by the Devil (see the Great Thunderstorm, Widecombe).
