Blackdown Yurts
The pace of life in Devon is slow...
...but there’s plenty to do if you are feeling active.
The Blackdown Hills have hundreds of footpaths, river banks, ancient woodland, villages and churches just waiting to be explored.
We can supply you with maps and plenty of helpful suggestions. You can even borrow a bike if you prefer pedal power to walking.
There are plenty of excellent places to eat and drink locally, and we'd be happy to recommend some of our favourite pubs and restaurants.
If you'd like to venture further afield, we're in an ideal position for exploring, just a stone’s throw away from the beautiful Jurassic World Heritage coastline, Dartmoor, Exmoor and the cathedral city of Exeter.
Discover the Jurassic World Heritage coast. Set out for a bracing walk across Exmoor or Dartmoor, followed by a hearty pub lunch. Rent an old-fashioned deckchair and tuck into a cream tea at the seaside villages of Beer or Branscombe. Or, for shopping, Exeter has a modern shopping centre with high-street stores and many specialist shops.
Many outstanding National Trust properties are nearby and the Eden Project is just an hour and a half away by car.
You can also find plenty of places to fish, either locally, or on the coast.
