The pretty hamlet of Tuckenhay is peacefully nestled in the picturesque Dart Valley, yet within easy reach of Totnes, Dartmouth and the South Devon coast. Known for its unspoilt tree-lined banks, secret creeks, and sweeping countryside, its natural beauty attracts walkers, bird lovers, photographers, artists, and fishermen, whilst its waterside position lends itself perfectly for sailors, kayakers and paddleboarders.

Tuckenhay is only 20 minutes' drive from the beautiful beach at Blackpool Sands, popular among families, and around half an hour from the famous surfing beach at Bantham. Numerous other natural beaches and sheltered coves dot the nearby coastline, and many breath-taking coastal walks can be enjoyed on the magnificent South West Coast Path. Meanwhile, the wild beauty of Dartmoor lies just 20 minutes' away in the other direction.

Nearby Totnes, with its winding streets, historic town walls and ancient castle offers a wide selection of independent shops, delis, cafés and pubs. Whilst the historic harbour town of Dartmouth provides picturesque shopping and dining, and plenty of opportunities to get on the water.

A holiday cottage in Tuckenhay provides an idyllic peaceful retreat just a stone's throw from vibrant towns and the stunning South Devon coastline.

Great friendly staff who were very helpful to inexperienced Kayakers! We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the River Dart and would definitely return should we be lucky enough to visit again. Lovely views!

July 2021


Highly recommend Totnes Kayaks. Equipment was top class and they couldn’t do enough to make sure we were happy with our hire. Great recommendations of where to kayak, what time and day to make the most of the tides

August 2019


Very helpful staff - both friendly and informative. A very pleasant afternoon spent - wish we'd had time to do it again.

My daughter and granddaughter really enjoyed this park and was amazed how big it was and how many attractions it had.

April 2017


Don't expect Alton Towers- but if you want a great place to spend the day and keep the kids entertained, then this is the best there is in South Devon. I'd say better for 7-13s than anything over....

March 2017


No matter what the weather is you'll have a day of fun. Only downside is that if your 7 year old is a bit tall for their age they will be charged an adult ticket price

December 2016


Brilliant day out for all ages.

I like Woodlands because it is entertaining whatever the weather
