Where to find the boxes Part 2: Boxes in Pubs and Buildings

I have decided to list these boxes specifically, as they are overseen by the owner directly in the building they are kept, therefore not prone to Vandalism or theft!

They are a very good starting point for any new-comer to Letterboxing, as they are easy to find, (most of the Time!), and it gives a good idea of the sort of thing you'll find on the moor.

They are listed by Town, and you may notice that some of the Towns are not on Dartmoor!, however they are very close, and you will find that the people who put these boxes there are keen Boxers, and May have some useful hints!

Hopefully Hgrid and Vgris should be self explanatory, but just to make sure they are the Grid reference points, Horizontally and Vertically!
