Dartmoor is considered to be the remotest and wildest countryside in Southern England with its numerous Tors, wild ponies, archaeological sites and its sense of isolation. Dartmoor is a land of beauty, mystery and ancient history.

It is ideally situated for discovering the North and South Devon coasts and exploring Dartmoor, which is five minutes walk away at the top of the lane - and provides a paradise for horse riders, walkers and cyclists.
