Lydia Mill is situated on the River Avon at Lydia Bridge, a tiny hamlet on the southern edge of Dartmoor. The property consists of the Mill, converted some years ago into a most attractive single-storey cottage, and the original house, also built in the 16th century, which has been divided into two dwellings, one of which is Wisteria Cottage. The grounds and garden are approximately one acre. The section of the garden below the wonderful falls is on the river bank and is available to all. A delightful and tranquil spot for contemplation. There is a public footpath on the opposite bank of the river leading into the village of South Brent (10 minutes). Most of the essentials of life are available in the village. The cottages are ideally located for touring Dartmoor and the South Hams being only two miles off the A38 Devon Expressway thus avoiding the holiday traffic. Dartmoor is easily accessible by foot or car.
