Places To Visit
Within 15 minutes of us you can access Dartmoor National Park (visit here ) and Exeter City Centre. Dawlish and Exmouth are just 30 minutes away. The Hut is easily accessible, in the village of Longdown to the west of Exeter, just 10 minutes or so from the M5.
Within easy reach of The Holcombe Hut, there is a wealth of interesting places to visit, beautiful open outdoor spaces, exciting days out, and a whole host of entertainment for every taste.
Why not take a day trip to Dartmouth by steam train from Buckfastleigh or by ferry from Totnes and visit The Donkey Sanctuary, Agatha Christie’s Greenway, NT Killerton House, NT Knightshayes Court, or take a walk around the Challacombe Vineyard … wine tasting with lunch or High Tea (a lovely experience).
Also, the Eden Project is a wonderful day trip. If you bring your bikes, you could cycle the Grand Western Canal from Tiverton or walk the coastal path. Dartington Hall and Gardens near Totnes is lovely and Buckfast Abbey, on the way to Totnes, is a quiet retreat away from busyness. Exeter Racecourse have races and fairs/car boots during the year.
In May, we have the ever popular, Sidmouth International Jazz and Blues Festival, as well as our Devon County Show at Westpoint, Clyst St Mary. For rugby, visit Exeter Chief’s stadium at Sandypark, Exeter. For local crafts visit ‘Make’ in the Riverside Mill in Bovey Tracey.
