There is a well-marked trackway across the Moor from the Belstone area, through the Teign valley to a spot on the Teignestuary

now called Salcombe, where salt was made on the banks of a fresh water rivulet.


 For the sake of trade, the Romans kept up the system of British trackways within the County, but they only adapted the existing roads - the salt-tracks and trade-routes across the Moor, which had been built centuries before and ran straight across hillside and valley, the way being marked by crosses and beacons
