Parks & Nature
There's the formal gardens, which are free to explore, then there's the wider estate, through which the River Dart flows. Take a swim in the summer, take your wellies in the winter - either way it's a little slice of heaven.

There's a dairy and a vineyard with a restaurant in summer, but the walk out along the Dart is open all year round and affords some wonderful views. Great for a long dog walk. If you feel up to it, extend your jaunt to the Durant Arms in Ashprington.
