Dartmoor Glamping

Dartmoor Glamping is right in the centre of Dartmoor National Park – a great place to experience all the sights, sounds and smells of the countryside. Hiking routes and cycle rides crisscross the countryside for miles around – ask site staff for recommendations, then head to the visitor centre in the village to pick up maps. This isolated location also explains why Dartmoor Prison is also located here (five minutes' drive). The prison has a museum about its 200-year history just next door for any curious passers-by. It's also a short journey to lots of historic National Trust properties and classic English gardens. Buckland Abbey (20 minutes) near Yelverton is a very pretty spot for walks and a cream tea, while heading south towards Plymouth will bring you to Cotehele and Cotehele Mill (40 minutes) in the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Visits to the coast are also possible from here, as Dartmoor Glamping is about 45 minutes by road from beaches like Bovisand and Wembury. Slightly further afield, you can reach the South Hams Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (an hour), and jaunts to Cornwall may also be on the cards – resorts like Looe (an hour) and Port Isaac (an hour and 15 minutes) are both doable as day trips.
