Devon Heaven Hideaways

Dartmoor National Park (15 minutes’ drive) makes a wonderfully romantic walking and cycling destination with its rocky tors and wild moorland. The stroll up to fairytale Canonteign Falls (also 15 minutes) leads through lush strands of fern to a viewing platform with exceptional views (a spot for a proposal, perhaps?). Castle Drogo (half an hour) is another Dartmoor highlight; designed by architect Sir Edwin Lutyens and completed in 1930, it has elegantly furnished interiors to nose around, formal gardens and scenic strolls through the Teign Gorge. Still on Dartmoor, you can dine out in the romantic restaurants of Chagford (35 minutes), and closer to your cool Airstream base, you’re within staggering distance of a funkily designed pub that serves excellent food (10 minutes’ walk). Historic Exeter (20 minutes’ drive) is one of the most popular places for eating out in the West Country, and you can visit the cathedral or Exeter Royal Albert Memorial Museum beforehand to build up an appetite. If you’d like to stock up on Devon produce to take home, browse the locally brewed cider and indulge in a cream tea at Darts Farm (15 minutes), or buy home-grown wines from the vineyard at Kenton Park Estate (10 minutes).
