Our View

The tranquil, ancient parkland of Dunsland park once befitted the grand house that stood in its midst. The park is home to a variety of trees, including 700-year-old sweet chestnuts and old fruit trees. Wander around the remaining buildings of Tudor Dunsland House. All apart from the old stable and coach house were lost in a fire in the 1960s. The trees in Dunsland Park support many rare lichens and provide a rich habitat for wildlife. Bluebells and primroses can be seen in spring and you may hear the rustle of dormice and roe deer. Look out for dippers and sparrow hawks too.

About the area

Discover Devon

With magnificent coastlines, two historic cities and the world-famous Dartmoor National Park, Devon sums up all that is best about the British landscape. For centuries it has been a fashionable and much loved holiday destination – especially south Devon’s glorious English Riviera.

Close to the English Riviera lies Dartmoor, one of the south-west’s most spectacular landscapes. The National Park, which contains Dartmoor, covers 365 square miles and includes many fascinating geological features – isolated granite tors and two summits exceeding 2,000 feet among them. 

Not surprisingly, in Dartmoor the walking opportunities are enormous. Cycling in the two National Parks is also extremely popular and there is a good choice of off-road routes taking you to the heart of Dartmoor and Exmoor. Devon’s towns and cities offer stimulating alternatives to the rigours of the countryside.
