Folklore
Devon is also very well known for it's folklore concerning pixies. Near Challacombe, a group of rocks are named for the pixies said to dwell there. They are said to be "invisibly small, and harmless or friendly to man".

In some of the legends and historical accounts they are presented as having near human stature. For instance, a member of the Elford family in Tavistock, Devon, successfully hid from Cromwell's troups in a pixie house. Though the entrance has narrowed with time, the pixie house, a natural cavern on Sheep Tor is still accessible.
