Camping and Caravan parks 

Higher Well Farm is a quiet, secluded setting in beautiful countryside close to us on the outskirts of Stoke Gabriel village. Dogs welcome, and loads of space for tents, hard standing for caravans, or on site static caravans.

Broadleigh Farm Park Looking for a campsite that is open fields, allows dogs and BBQ’s than this is for you. A working farm family which provide great camping, and make their own cider. What more do you need!!

Pubs & Places

The Cellar Door An hours paddle upriver towards totnes on the Sharpham Estate. It's an open air restaurant where you can sit and enjoy a glass of Sharphams finest white wine while enjoying beautifully prepared local food taking in the glorious river views.  

The Maltsters Arms Tuckenhay
Across the River from us lies Bow creek. A suitable place for new paddlers to explore on an easy three hour paddle and a great pub lunch! Once owned by the infamous TV chef Keith Floyd, The Maltsters Arms is a warm and welcoming place and extremely popular with locals and visitors alike. 

FBI Dittisham, or the Ferry Boat Inn. The best view from a pub window  anywhere… Great food and beer plus lots of summer activities. Very memorable…
