The village features a medieval granite church, and a very well-known and popular public house. The thriving market town of Tavistock is only 5 miles away to the southwest.

Description - This attractive block of mixed pasture and woodland is located in an enviable, unspoilt moorland setting and benefits from fishing rights on the River Tavy. The land is ideal for camping under the 28-day rule, as well as other recreational uses, keeping or grazing livestock, and other country or wildlife pursuits. The land is bordered by Devon banks and dry stone walling, and there is gated access at the eastern end of the site (see our accompanying plan). At the top of the site is a gated paddock enclosed by stock-proof post and rail fencing, surrounded by an area of more wild meadow which the current owners have left to encourage wildlife. Opportunities for riding in the immediate area are extensive, with direct access to the open moors available within half a mile. The land then drops away into the wooded Tavy valley below, named Woodland Wood, which is a mixed, mainly deciduous broadleaf woods comprising oak, beech, holly and other native species. At the foot of the woods runs the River Tavy, along which there are approximately 175m of single-bank fishing rights. The light woodland bordering the River is awash with bluebells in early Spring, making this a very pretty setting which benefits from a great deal of privacy and tranquillity. In all, the land extends to approximately 5.22 acres.
