Things to do

It can be pretty hard to tear yourselves away from the beauty and serenity of the yurt and its surroundings, but if you want to there is tons to do in the nearby area. The farm has direct access to open moorland where, whichever direction you set off in there are walks with dramatic views. There are several Tors within walking distance, and the River Dart runs across the Moors, providing many stunning settings for picnicking or natural pools to swim in if you can brave the water temperature!

Just down the road from the farm is one of the oldest pubs in England, the Tavistock Inn, where there’s a great selection of ales, beers, and wines, good food and a huge outside seating area. There are also a number of other lovely old pubs within driving distance and a few towns to visit, including Ashburton where there are plenty of places to buy anything you might need and Widecombe, a historic moorland village.

Dartmoor also has ideal terrain for riding horses, offering unrestricted access to mile upon mile of striking land over which to walk or ride. There are many riding schools nearby which we can put you in touch with. Alternatively, if you have your own horse and are keen to bring it along with you and have an incredible riding holiday, we have our own stables and grazing land and we can arrange this with you at a small additional cost.
