Explore

A stone's throw from the cabin is quirky Totnes. Full of eclectic independent shops and an array of delicious eateries, it's a brilliant town to explore for the day. On Fridays and Saturdays, you'll find the bustling weekly market in the Market Square, where you can pick up local delights to take back to your hideaway to enjoy. The Bull Inn is just the spot for a scrumptious, seasonal, local and organic breakfast, lunch or supper… the choice is yours, but the menu is not to be missed!

Dartmoor National Park and the South Hams countryside is right on your doorstep. Why not head to the picturesque village of Stoke Gabriel, where you will arrive at the edge of the River Dart. Give kayaking a go and then finish your day with a delicious bite to eat at The River Shack. For cyclists, head to Haldon Forest Park with its variety of cycling trails. If you are unable to bring your bikes with you, they are available to hire at Haldon Forest.

The post card pretty seaside town of Brixham isn't too far away. Visit the famous Golden Hind or spend a day at the beautiful Breakwater beach, followed by a dip in the outdoor Shoalstone seawater pool. There are plenty of lovely places for a spot of lunch or dinner, or perhaps a pint at one of the traditional harbourside pubs? Should you wish to take to the water, there is a ferry from Brixham harbour to the town of Torquay.

The combined riverboat and steam railway trip between Totnes and Dartmouth makes for the perfect family day out. Agatha Christie's former holiday home at Greenway is another must-see and, right on your doorstep you'll find the National Trust's Compton Castle. It's just a short stroll away from the safari tent.
