LYDFORD Summer Fair and the Safety on Dartmoor Day took place on Saturday with plenty of activities to entertain the crowds plus a chance to meet the local emergency services and find out about the valuable work they do.

Visitors enjoyed games, a climbing wall, raffle, refreshments and main ring displays including Viking re-enactment and Dartmoor hill ponies. They tackled a five-mile run — The Lydford Dash — and watched hot air balloons and took part in the dog show.

Local emergency services included the police, Dartmoor Search and Rescue, Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, Canine Rescue, Camels Head Cliff Rescue and also represented was Community Speedwatch, a police drone display, St John’s Ambulance, Dartmoor National Park, National Trust and ShelterBox.
