About Dartmoor

The nearest village is Lydford, just 1.5 miles from the house. This historic village with its Anglo Saxon heritage boasts a defence wall, Norman castle, the prison and a massive granite viaduct (from the former Exeter-Plymouth railway line). It also has two pubs and a church. Close to the Whitelady House is also the Lydford Gorge, with the spectacular Whitelady waterfall. 7 miles to the west is Tavistock, a lovely market town packed with independent shops and pannier market. Then , 8 miles to the East is Okehampton, known as the gateway to Dartmoor and home to Okehampton castle and Dartmoor Railway. There are so many ways to explore Dartmoor National Park, with great walks, cycle tracks (along Granite Way), and the more adventurous can also enjoy canoeing, tree surfing and Gorge scrambling.
