Yelverton
developed during the Victorian railway boom when people came to ‘take the
air’. The railway no longer runs but aspects of the old station and
tunnel are still here and much of the old track is now a cycleway.
The imposing houses on the village green, including
The Rosemont, date from
that time and give the village centre a unique look for Dartmoor.
Yelvertons'
character was further shaped by the war when RAF Harrowbeer was
operational.*
(*Named to avoid confusion with RAF Yeovilton, Somerset).
