Legendary Sherlock Holms of Conan Doyle fame,is this a miscast film? Robert Downy Jnr. and Jude Law? Hollywood style,all effects with little in common with the original feel of Conan Doyle’s vision of Holms. The old classic Holms films featuring the likes of Basil Rathbone and the more recent series starring Jeremy Brett are much more nearer to how Holms should be portrayed,but the passage of time has not eluded the imagination on reading Conan Doyle’s novels,most noteably ‘The Hound of The Baskervilles’,atmospheric and dark partly due the story’s location-Dartmoor and in that the legend of a giant dog still persists on parts of the moors up to the present day. It may be that CD got his inspiration for the book from an actual legend in which the local squire (long dead and buried in Buckfastleigh Churchyard)takes to roaming the moor with a pack of hell hounds hunting for unfortunate souls who wonder onto the treacherous moor at night,
just one of many tales about huge hounds or packs of hell hounds associated with Dartmoor,all plus more local legends can be found @

Hi fellow WordPressers and readers,this is to alert you all to my latest website creation 
http://dartmoorlegends.yolasite.com
There are many legends associated with Dartmoor,a wild and lonely place-idyllic and charming when the sun shines but the mood can change dramatically almost within minutes if the weather takes a turn for the worse and the place can take on a dangerous and forbidding feel; mists can descend and completly envelope one sometimes making the path you have taken impossible to find,panic ensues and the mind begins to imagine the stories you were told of people getting lost miles from civilisation and of flights of fancy concerning ghosts,pixies and demonic hounds..read on and all will be revealed
