A sad week for Dartmoor lovers. The giants chair that has been in place at Natsworthy, Dartmoor for the last four years has now been taken down and put into storage.
The chair was said to have become a victim of it’s own success, as local residents complained about the popularity causing congestion on the roads. Full BBC article here.
I was fortunate enough to visit the chair earlier in the year and take this photo:
It is said the chair will be re-located to a new site in Devon.
Thanks must go out to the artist and land owner Henry Bruce for allowing visitors onto his land to enjoy the chair for so long. An example to be set to many other Dartmoor landowners.
I look forward to visiting it in it’s new home.

It will be missed – it was often regarded as the Westcountry equivalent to the “Angel of the North”.
