Soft ball games are permitted away from all units on site. We do not allow frisbees, kites and other projectile activities on site. There is a recreation ground close to the site open to the public.
Walking
Walking is virtually endless from the site. We will be pleased to advise and suggest walks. Try letterboxing on Dartmoor (a form of orienteering) . Good walking clothing and footware is advisable when walking on Dartmoor. We can advise about MOD firing areas and timings.
Cycling
The famous, mainly level, Granite Way Sustrans Cycle Path starts near the site. Ask for a leaflet and advice. The local terrain is otherwise hilly and should be taken into consideration before setting out.
Dogs and Pets
All dogs and pets are welcome. Our dog walk is heralded as one of the best. A 1km part sloping walk offers part shady walking with superb views of Dartmoor. Dog bins are provided and a seat half way is a place to spend a short time admiring the surrounding views. All we ask is that all pets be kept on a short lead and under control on every part of the site including the dog walk at all times. We can help find kennels or dog sitting near the village if you cannot take your pet with you on a day out.

Disposal points can be found throughout the site. We currently re-cycle clean; glass, cans, paper and cardboard;
