| Devon is a beautiful county of
contrasts, the grandeur of Dartmoor and Exmoor, the softness of streams and
water falls and the lush green of unspoilt countryside. Much of our coastline is classified
as areas of outstanding beauty and managed by The National
Trust.
There are majestic
cliffs, sweeping bays, sheltered coves
and
small fishing villages. Chillaton is ideally situated for those who wish to explore
magnificent Dartmoor, the beautiful Tamar Valley and the contrasting coasts
of
North and South Devon and of nearby Cornwall. We are surrounded by pretty
villages, National Trust properties and many beautiful gardens which are open
to visitors. Tavistock,
the historic Dartmoor Stannary Town, is just 6 miles away. It is the birth
place of Sir Francis Drake. Plymouth with its famous Hoe and associations
with
Queen Elizabeth Tudor, Drake and the Armada, is just a half hour drive
further,
past Buckland Abbey, Francis Drakes country home. The Cathedral Cities
of
Exeter and Truro are within easy driving distance. Several golf courses are
nearby and excellent fishing, sailing, surfing, canoeing, cycling and pony
trekking are all easily arranged in the locality, or simply appreciate the
beauty and peace of your surroundings at Tor Cottage where you are welcome to
enjoy the gardens, the walks and in summer, the pool. | | |
