Sightseeing
A short walk away from our home, Cockington Village is 'chocolate box' perfect. Visit one of the tea rooms for a treat, or Cockington Court to watch glass blowing, the local blacksmith, fabulous bakers, chocolatiers, plus other crafts people. Enjoy the lakes, cricket pitch, arboretum - or have a lazy lunch at The Drum Inn (boom in advance at https://www.vintageinn.co.uk/restaurants/south-west/thedruminncockington/tablebooking#)

Beautiful Dartmouth is well worth a visit - you can cross the car ferry, or drive round via historic Totnes (worth a visit in its own right) The walk up to Dartmouth Castle is lovely, and not too far from the town. Take in the view of the stunning Britannia Royal Naval College on the left as you drive down into Dartmouth when entering from Totnes. Lots of independent cafes and shops. Just watch the seagulls don't fly off with your crab sandwich!

Agatha Cristie's stunning home, on the river Dart - it's so beautiful - well worth a visit, particularly if you are National Trust members already. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/greenway

Food scene
Fantastic French cuisine with a view over the Bay (particularly lovely at the moment as the Cruise ships are parked up!) This is a short 15 min walk away from the house. You will need to book.
