The small Devon village of Lustleigh wasn’t the model for Embervale in the Devonshire Mysteries, but it conveys an idea of the kind of place I had in mind.
Thatched cottages, a friendly-looking pub, a small shop, a church and all surrounded by beautiful countryside.
Dan and Alan would love it here – especially the pub.
I hope you enjoy these few photos.

Is leigh pronounced lee or lay?
Usually ‘lee’ in a place name, but we often shorten it to sound like ‘li’.
I’m a big fan of litchgates (sp?) so I appreciate the image included in this collection. This one seems to be mostly stone, different from the timber gates I’ve seen. I like the way the gates provide a transition from secular to sacred ground. I guess it’s an expression of the journey archetype.
I’d forgotten they were called that. I think it’s lychgate.
