Discovering ancient granite-built cottages and narrow, flower-filled country lanes will keep you enthralled for days. There is a wealth of culture and heritage to discover at Castle Drogo, Buckland Abbey and Lydford Castle, where you can spend the whole day and enjoy a picnic within their beautiful grounds. Seek remote Dartmoor holiday homes and spend days enjoying Moorland walks, whether visiting one of its many granite-topped tors or pausing for a spot of wild swimming in its many rivers and streams from the River Dart in the south moor to the River Taw in the north.

Skirting the northern and western fringes of Dartmoor are several pretty West Devon villages, many linked by the West Devon Way. This footpath runs from North to South border, passing through a necklace of pretty villages, each with a clutch of historical tales to tell in any of their ancient village pubs. Villages such as Bridestow, Lydford, Peter and Mary Tavy all offer a choice of well-equipped and lovingly furnished holiday cottages. Aside from its miles of remote but well-sign-posted moorland walks snaking down deep river valleys or ascending granite walled Tors for dramatic views as far as the ocean, Dartmoor is also famous for its festivals and fairs at Chagford, Tavistock, and Widdecombe all picturesque moorland villages.
