"The Highwayman enjoys a lonely and dramatic setting. It stands opposite the pretty little church of St Thomas Becket, beyond which the dark bulk of Dartmoor looms against the scudding clouds, bleak, brooding and thoroughly menacing.

Until the mid 20th century this little pub was known as The New Inn, although it was anything but, since the building dates from the 13th century.

In 1959 the dilapidated property came into the possession of John Buster Jones, a Welsh visionary whose previous achievements had included running away to sea when he was 14, and representing Wales at boxing and distance running.

He and his wife, Rita, changed the pub's name to The Highwayman, and set about transforming the modest roadside watering hole into one of the most unusual and imaginatively furnished hostelries in the whole of England."
