Honeybrook Camping

You'll likely yearn for the tors and open landscapes of Dartmoor first, so mosey along to the closest visitor centre (40 minutes' drive away at Yelverton for info on the huge amount of stuff to see and do. Hiking and biking trails meander all around the national park for walks and bike rides as relaxed or challenging as you fancy; more actively, you can plunge into whitewater kayaking and canoeing on the River Dart, canter around on horseback or arrange a session of gorge scrambling via the activity centre in Okehampton. Also consider clambering one or two of the famed Dartmoor tors – Haytor, 55 minutes' drive away, is particularly fab for the particularly fab views from its top. After all that, rest your weary self with a gentle amble around Okehampton, to town highlights such as 11th-century Okehampton Castle and the Museum of Dartmoor Life, telling the tale of these ancient parts and their people. By car, other top Devon destinations include Castle Drogo and RHS Rosemoor, each 30 minutes away; the old sights of Exeter (40 minutes), and Buckfast Abbey, reachable in 55 minutes from Honeybrook.
