Tolverne Shepherd's Hut

If Cornwall’s all about the coast for you, you’ll be in a good spot here – perhaps you’d like to hit the surf waves in Bude (20 minutes’ drive) or take a walk through the Hartland Cornwall Heritage Coast (25 minutes). And Devon’s north coast is just as fabulous, with top picks including the cobbled streets of Clovelly (half an hour) and the sands of Westward Ho! (35 minutes). There are lots of great walks along the South West Coast Path too, of course, or down in Dartmoor National Park (40 minutes). For more active days out, head to the watersports centre at Tamar Lakes (10 minutes) or try out wakeboarding and the floating assault course at North Devon Wake Park (25 minutes). Other outings nearby might take you on a tour of the Cornish Distilling Company (15 minutes), for a round at Ivyleaf Golf Course & Driving Range (20 minutes) or to explore the past at Davidstow Airfield and Cornwall at War Museum (35 minutes).
