The greater estate is a wonderful place to take your dog. Wander along miles of wooded paths with views of the river and surrounding countryside. Walk to the Old Quay and Discovery Centre or perhaps take a boat trip on the river in summer.
You'll be spoilt for choice here with walking trails, mountain biking, bike hire, geocaching, tree top activities and bushcrafts. Plenty to keep all the family occupied and there's a cafe, perfect for when you need to re-fuel.
This 15th Century Inn on the Tamar river is on the Tamar Trail. Stop off for some traditional home cooking and real ale.
In the heart of the village next door to the church you'll find this famous 12th Century coaching inn. With lots of outdoor seating and a traditional interior with separate dining room call in any time of year.
A traditional 17th century pub situated in the centre of the village. Food is freshly prepared with vegetarian and vegan options available.
Named after one of Devon's most famous sons, Sir Francis Drake, the Drake's Trail project, launched in March 2009, includes a range of walking and cycling routes in West Devon for all age groups and fitness levels. The new off-road cycling route follows the old railway track between Tavistock and Plymouth, crossing open moorland at Roborough Down before reaching the wooded valleys of the River Meavy and eventually the River Plym.
Tree-top ladders, rope bridges and zip wires to get the adrenalin pumping.
Previously known as Christopher's, this restaurant is popular among locals for its relaxed and friendly atmosphere. With just 26 covers you can be sure of a meal of Michelin Star standard made using only locally sourced meat and vegetables.
Set in 63 acres of well-drained parkland, with stunning views over Dartmoor and Bodmin.
A few years ago, the Classic Cottages team started writing about where we live and why we love it. Over time these have evolved into the Classic Guide.
