Webland Country Lodges

South Devon

Webland Farm is a great place to explore South Devon and Dartmoor. We are 6 miles from the historic market town of Totnes. The coast is 15 miles away, and Dartmoor National Park provides beautiful views on the park.

South Devon is an area that benefits from one of the mildest climates in the UK. There is a spaciousness that provides an over-riding feeling of peace and calm.

If you like walking, you will love walking in South Devon! The coastal paths have a stunning splendour. In contrast, there is a stark beauty in Dartmoor and relaxing countryside to enjoy across South Devon.

Many of the local towns and villages have heritage trails that highlight the local traditions and history. There are also walking festivals, and the tourist centres provide information on guided or self-guided routes to explore. Details are available on ways suitable for wheelchairs.

Devon is famous for its cream teas, but when it comes to food and drink, there is so much more in Devon. Whether it’s a seafood bar on the coast, an old country pub or a fine dining restaurant, there are plenty of choices. Our shortlist of pubs and restaurants gives you a starting list to consider.

Plymouth

Webland Holiday Lodges - Plymouth Hoe Lighthouse

Plymouth has a unique maritime heritage dating back to medieval times. The historic areas of Plymouth Hoe and the Barbican are an excellent place to visit.

From Plymouth Hoe, you have a stunning panoramic view of Drake’s Island, the harbour, lighthouse and various seafaring memorials.

The historic Barbican area, with its narrow Elizabethan lanes, is one of the oldest parts of Plymouth. It has been developed with many shops, galleries, pubs and restaurants and attracts many visitors.

Plymouth has a very modern pedestrianised City Centre, with floral displays, water features and the most extensive range of shops in the region. It also has the Theatre Royal for drama and musicals, and Plymouth Pavilions for pop and classical concerts.

Dartmoor National Park

Dartmoor National Park is a beautiful place to visit throughout the year, the beauty of its landscape changing with the seasons.

Webland is based just outside the South Eastern edge of the National Park, a couple of miles from the South Brent ‘gateway’ into the park.

Dartmoor covers 368 square miles. There is something for everyone in Dartmoor. The ‘scale’ of the scenery is extraordinary. Dartmoor offers great walks for both the casual and experienced walker. Views of woodland valleys, rushing rivers, and striking reservoirs abound.

Dartmoor also attracts cyclists, wildlife lovers, historians, archaeologists and anyone interested in the size and scale of a landscape that is both beautiful and filled with history.

Dartmoor has a wealth of historical remains. ‘Clapper’ bridges, hut circles and hill forts can be seen across the landscape. The park also has nature and wildlife reserves and, of course, cattle, sheep and the famous Dartmoor ponies roam free across the land.
