The Money Tree at Bovey Tracey on Dartmoor
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Many years ago, they say, the path by this tree was the main route to the village of Bovey Tracey. A huge serpent lived in the brook and ate the occasional passer-by. But to keep passengers safe, the Dartmoor pixies made travellers invisible, as long as they paid a small toll by placing a coin in the tree. Since then, no-one has been eaten by serpents locally. However, if you take a coin from the tree you will incur the wrath of the pixies. Britain has many trees where you are expected to hammer in a coin but the Bovey tree (founded c.1980?) is the only one with a legend.
