The tranquil village of Newton Ferrers lies opposite its slightly smaller neighbour, Noss Mayo, on a delightful creek of the beautiful wooded estuary of the Yealm. The Yealm estuary is a haven for artists, bird watchers and yachtsmen with pretty waterside cottages, plentiful wildlife, and sailing vessels of every shape and size creating an idyllic scene for all who visit.

Newton Ferrers has an excellent pub, The Dolphin Inn, with ample beer garden overlooking the creek, café, and Post Office and store where you can pick up your morning croissants. Walking enthusiasts will enjoy exploring the nearby spectacular coastline, particularly Warren Point, where wildlife abounds. The little church of St Werburgh, standing on the cliff at the junction of several of the parish footpaths, has stood on this wild piece of coastline since the 14th century. Alternatively, cross to Noss Mayo, on foot at low tide or via the ferry a high tide, and take the 30-40 minute stroll through exceptionally pretty woodland to the pebble and sand Cellar Beach, which has no dog restrictions. The path is quite steep down to the beach, but it makes a great resting place if you wish to continue along this beautiful stretch of the South West Coast Path up to Gara Point.

Other beaches within a short drive include the family-friendly Wembury, the hidden gem of Mothecombe, and Wonwell which has limited parking and no facilities, but low tide exposes acres of golden sand which is heaven for dogs to race across.

Newton Ferrers is also conveniently close to the maritime city of Plymouth with its lively Barbican area, fascinating National Marine Aquarium, and the iconic Hoe and lighthouse offering fantastic views across one of the most perfect natural harbours in the world.

A holiday cottage in Newton Ferrers provides a tranquil and extremely picturesque base from which to explore the surrounding coastline and the vibrant city of Plymouth.

Easily contactable via text and email. I paddled on my first morning with Fiona, and had a brilliant lesson 1:1 on a lovely stretch of water at Noss.

August 2021


This business is NOT based in Noss Mayo. No renting is allowed directly on the river so this shouldn’t be advertised.

Saltram National Trust
Saltram National Trust
(5 miles)

(3)

Surrounded by tranquil gardens and historic parkland, Saltram is a Georgian country house overlooking the River Plym, with views across rolling landscapes and an abundance of green space. The house was home to the Parker family from 1743, and was designed to show their increasingly prominent status – which is partially why it’s filled with paintings by the likes of Sir Joshua Reynolds. Happily, for us however, that has made for a wonderful environment in which to explore history, wander around the rhododendrons and camellias in the garden, and discover seasonal exhibitions, events and activities for the whole family. Prices start at £10.70 for adults and £5.30 for children in peak season, however opening hours and prices vary throughout the year. There is also a £3 charge for the car park.

Lovely peaceful walks with dog taking in the beach estuary. Dogs not allowed in the house or formal garden only the parkland.

September 2023


Lovely house, not easy to get to as Plymouth roads are not well marked and lane selection is vital.

September 2023


Very friendly staff and lovely gardens - a shame we couldn't see the house because of Covid restrictions - but next time!

National Marine Aquarium
National Marine Aquarium
(6 miles)

(4)

The National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth is the Nation’s largest aquarium as well as being a charity organisation, and as such has an extremely exciting and prevalent role to play in driving marine conservation. Alongside the tourist attraction they run learning programmes for more than 30,000 children each year, have a consultancy branch and host events from weddings to birthdays and corporate functions as well. While you’re on holiday in South Devon, however, you will be more interested to know that this underwater world of discovery has the largest native exhibition in the UK exploring all the fish you have heard of and rarer varieties as well. In addition to British beauties there’s an Atlantic Ocean tank with large Nurse Sharks, sand tiger sharks and lemon sharks as well as ray and clownfish. The Aquarium has a café on site, is open daily, and has a variety of ticket types available for families, students and senior citizens.

Visited last week, definitely not worth the money, very expensive for a not particularly great attraction.

September 2021


A lovely aquarium but we had to change our original visit day as booking (due to Covid) closes at 2pm daily and no entry allowed after that time without booking.

July 2021


Brilliant,not cheap but worth it only four stars as outside play area a bit scruffy.

September 2019


Very expensive to enter and we walked around the entire place in less than an hour.
