Extract from Devon by W.G.Hoskins (1954), included by kind permission of the copyright holder:

BUCKLAND-IN-THE-MOOR The scenery of the parish is everywhere most romantic. The prevailing tone of the human landscape is a warm grey: grey thatched roofs, grey moorstone walls and buildings, and tall grey beeches around them. In the more sheltered combes the vegetation is luxuriant: mosses and lichens, fungi and ferns.
