Yellands Farm Glamping

Dartmoor is, of course, a wonderful place for hiking and other outdoor activities. A good way to start is with a walk across the valley to the remains of a Bronze Age village at Grimspound. Beyond that, the likes of Becky Falls (20 minutes’ drive), Canonteign Falls (half an hour) and Haytor Rocks (20 minutes) are good places to aim for. You may well spot various animals as you explore, but for guaranteed sightings of the park’s most famous residents you’ll need to stop in at The Miniature Pony Centre (five minutes). For more exotic species, head to Dartmoor Zoo (45 minutes) or venture into Plymouth (55 minutes) for the National Marine Aquarium. There’s plenty of history to explore as you tour the area too – perhaps you’ll make trips to Okehampton Castle (half an hour) or Castle Drogo (20 minutes) or take a tour of the attractions of Exeter (40 minutes). For a dip on the way home, there’s a heated outdoor pool in Chagford, or you can swim in the Bovey river a few minutes’ walk from your tent.
