Activities
Walk: So much choice. We offer a handmade book of 5 walks from the door but feel free to use our O.S maps and go off piste on your own route. There is so much vaired terrain here, rivers, moorland, fields, hills, reservoirs, beach and Tors. Walk for an hour or all day.
Ride: Depending on your bike, riding here is very diverse. Haldon Hill (20mins) is a great woodland park for off roading and you can hire bikes there. They also have a freestyle park, it’s good for all ages and levels call 01392 833768/www.forestcyclehire.co.uk We are just off the B3212 and B3193, 2 very challenging road bike routes. Dartmoor classic comes past us too.
Fish: Fly-fishing at the reservoirs – drop your day permit cash in the box and off you go. Also Fingle Bridge Inn offers day permits to fish in the river Teign – a totally gorgeous spot. You will need your own equipment to fish both these spots and a degree of experience. Trout fishing on Dartmoor is easy – we like Tavistock Lake www.tavistocktroutfishery.co.uk as they have a good kids pond to fish in, only fly fishing in the adult lakes all equipment can be hired here, Tavistock has a great pannier market.
Golf: There are many courses in the National Park from the glorious Bovey Castle www.boveycastle.com, you can hire all your equipment from their Pro shop, it is expensive but a great course. The Teign Valley is our local course and only 5 minutes from the house www.teignvalleygolf.co.uk
