The peaceful hamlet of Didworthy on the south western edge of Dartmoor National Park enjoys an idyllic and tranquil location, whilst being only a few minutes' drive from the bustling village of South Brent with its wide range of independent shops, traditional tea rooms and friendly pubs.

Dartmoor offers visitors a rich and varied landscape, from bleak rocky outcrops, to vast expanses of heather moorland, and rushing rivers flowing through lush wooded valleys. The best way to fully appreciate the natural scenery is either on foot, bike, kayak or horseback, but if you are driving, be prepared to come across sheep in the road!

From Didworthy, there is a lovely scenic walk starting a short way upstream at Shipley Bridge, that follows the river Avon along a tree-lined section that gradually becomes more barren and windswept as your approach the Avon Dam at the top.

There are a wide range of nearby attractions for visitors to enjoy, including a picturesque ride the South Devon Steam Railway, the Otter Sanctuary & Butterfly Farm, the River Dart Country Park, Pennywell Farm or Sharpham Vineyard. Meanwhile, the Cathedral city of Exeter and maritime city of Plymouth are only a short drive away, as are the historic towns of Totnes, Dartmouth and Kingsbridge, and the sailing mecca of Salcombe.

If you fancy a day at the coast, there are several outstanding beaches in the South Hams, including Bigbury-on-Sea, Bantham, and Blackpool Sands, as well as the popular South West Coast Path for blustery clifftop walks with breathtaking views.

A holiday cottage in Didworthy offers a peaceful escape where you can easily immerse yourself in the wild beauty of Dartmoor, and explore the stunning South Devon countryside, traditional seaside towns, family-friendly beaches and magnificent coastline.

A great day out for families with younger children. Our 3 & 6 year olds loved cuddling the animals and bottle feeding the goats. The big show with Alfie the Juggler was brilliant

June 2023

Great centre for children under 12. Plenty of activities to get involved with and animals to pet and feed. Kept the grandchildren amused for hours

May 2022

Excellent day out with the kids that offers wholesome family fun you don't find in a lot of places.

A wonderfully traditional West Country attraction, The South Devon Railway (SDR) is a seven-mile former branch of the Great Western Railway from 1872. Running through the valley of the River Dart from Buckfastleigh to Totnes you can board a steam train with heritage rolling stock whatever the weather and whatever age you are. Dogs are welcome on the train for a nominal charge and seasonal charges vary. Step up the luxury on a dining train, or for really special occasions there are options to drive a train for a day or hire one for private events. While you’re there, other attractions close by include the Totnes Rare Breeds Farm and Dartmoor Otters and Buckfast Butterflies, to really make a day of it.
