Old Crockern returns! We're back for a second episode with the legendary giant of Dartmoor, plus giant maker and dancer Ruth Webb (of The Lost Giants) and storyteller and environmentalist Lisa Schneidau.Last time, we set the scene of Crockern's story and introduced a repetition of history, as Alexander Darwall sought to restrict wild camping on Dartmoor. This time we delve deeper into that story, coming almost right up to the present day, as we explore Crockern's return and what that meant for those who love Dartmoor and England's green spaces.View more video of Old Crockern at The MERL, plus Lisa and Ruth, via our Instagram or TikTok.
