Having recently undergone a big makeover, the Carpenters Arms is ready to welcome guests with warm hospitality and excellent home-cooked food. Bright, clean and cosy, the pub is very popular so booking ahead is advised.
A traditional English country inn near the famous Haytor Rocks on Dartmoor. Open log fires, excellent food (AA Rosette) and fine local ales make it an ideal refuelling stop for walkers.
With ample parking and children's play area this is the ideal place to stop off en-route through the beautiful Devon countryside. Meals are traditional pub grub and Sunday lunch is also served.
Set in the heart of the beautiful 'chocolate box' village of Lustleigh, this thatched pub dates back to the 15th century and offers a warm welcome to locals, walkers, cyclists and visitors alike. There's a lovely cottage garden to enjoy on warmer days and open log fires to snuggle up in front of during the winter.
A welcoming pub in a lovely little Dartmoor village, with a bar, restaurant and family room, good British pub menu with children's options and a Sunday carvery.
Bovey historical artefacts and photographs, railway memorabillia and pottery exhibited in the restored old railway station, offering an insight into local hisotry, art and culture.
Delicious cakes and earthy farmhouse cooking inspired by nearby Dartmoor. Don't forget to pick up a freshly baked cake while you're here.
Lots of lovely things to buy and a really great cafe right on the river. Exhibitions run throughout the year and check their website for current viewings.
Loads to do here, with lots of animals to see and touch, including some unusual creatures such as twin Gambian rats the size of cats and woolly 'sheep-pigs'!
A great place for youngsters to learn about bushcraft skills from expert outdoor staff in a beautiful woodland setting. Take a look at their website for full details of what's on offer.
