The countryside surrounding Modbury is some of South Hams’ most enchanting. Peaceful country lanes wind their way through farmland and woods, where you can walk for miles with only the sound of birds in the hedgerows for company. Modbury Holiday Cottages are ideally located for exploring the glorious south Devon coast. The town lies on the northern edge of the renowned South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is a short drive from Challaborough, Bantham, Bigbury-on-Sea and Hope Cove. Whether you want to ramble along the breathtaking clifftop coast path, wildlife watching, surf, or sunbathe, this dramatic stretch of coast won’t disappoint. One of the area’s most picturesque walks follows ancient smugglers’ lanes through the remote Ringmore Valley before descending to rocky Arymer Cove, with incredible views across the sea, towards France. Just north of Modbury is the Dartmoor National Park, a windswept expanse of heath, boulders and imposing granite hills. Look out for wild ponies and sheep grazing on the roadside as you experience this unique environment.
