Scorriton Court Campsite

Dartmoor National Park provides the bulk of the attractions around here, with hikes usually top of the list for most guests – local favourite spots include Ryder Hill, Combestone Tor and Shavercombe Falls, with places like Haytor Rocks and Burrator Reservoir just a little further off. As well as all that, there’s kayaking and canoeing on the River Dart and plenty of places to go wild swimming (plus an open-air pool in Buckfastleigh if that’s more your style). For family time, you may like to meet the animals at Pennywell Farm or Buckfast Butterfly Farm and Dartmoor Otter Sanctuary (both 15 minutes’ drive) or see more exotic species at Dartmoor Zoo (half an hour). Or, if it’s time to sit down for a little while, how about a steam-driven ride on South Devon Railway (10 minutes)? Time for a change of scenery? Plymouth and Exeter are both about 45 minutes’ drive away for urban antics, or you can get to Paignton in about 40 minutes for a seaside day.
