Where to Visit from Cherry
Dartmoor
A visit to Devon would not be complete without seeing Dartmoor National Park covering over 360 acres in the heart of the county with its high moor land and Tors rising to over 2000 feet. On a clear day it is possible to see over miles of beautiful countryside and to the sea from the top of one of the Tors.
Many standing stones form ancient circles with the famous Dartmoor ponies roaming free, keeping the grass shorn to create an area that lends itself to outdoor pursuits such as horse riding, walking, fishing and climbing.
One of the bogs on Dartmoor, Fox Tor Mires, is famously the supposed inspiration for Great Grimpen Mire in Conan Doyle's novel The Hound of the Baskervilles.
Visit the Bowerman's Nose, a stack of weathered granite situated on the northern slopes of Hayne Down, about a mile from Hound Tor. With a little imagination, you can see the profile of a human face. Legend says that it is a hunter who blundered into a witches' coven and they turned him into stone as a revenge.
Small hamlets and villages are scattered across the moor, many hidden in deep valleys.
Widecombe in the Moor is noted for it's annual Widecombe fair with "Uncle Tom Cobley and all".
The beautiful Becky Falls is a short distance from Manaton and on the southern edge of the Moor is Buckfast Abbey home of Benedictine monks famous for beekeeping, tonic wine and stained glass workshop.
Some recent comments from our guests —
"Another excellent holiday. The cottage was very well equipped and spacious. We were lucky with the weather but we loved the location we were in and were able to do lots of walking and site seeing. Have always used the special offers on the site and have had great value for money. Excellent company."
Mrs C Coombs on 30th May 2011"The cottage and location were great; the weather was superb. The hot water and power showers were excellent and the central heating a great boon in the chilly evenings."
Holidaymaker on 28th Apr 2011"We had a wonderful stay at Cherry cottage, the rooms were huge and all amenities in the house were spot on, I couldn't fault anything! The surrounding area is gorgeous if not slightly far out from shops or a town, the nearest shop/garage was 20 minutes drive away (that's if you didn't get lost in the country lanes) but that is the only thing I have to say that was not the best, overall we had a wonderful stay and even the kids could play out safely and the cottage and views were amazing! Really really pleased and would definitely use you again and recommend you to friends and family! xx"
Laura Doig on 4th May 2010"This holiday really was the ideal escape from our normal day to day busy lives. Of the 5 years I have stayed in property provided by Helpful Holidays this was by far the best. Spacious - so home from home, secluded and quiet, yet ideal for the beautiful local beaches more akin to the Mediterranean. An easy drive to the smart Dartmouth Town Centre, the beauty of Dartmoor and of course the plethora of golf courses including close proximity to Devon's most prestigious -Dartmouth Golf & Country Club. Woodlands Leisure Park is also ideal as a fun packed day out for the family. Highly recommended for families and golfers!!"
