Local attractions in Bovey Tracey

Local attractions

There are lots to do around Five Wyches Farm

We are rather blessed here at Five Wyches Farm, we grew up with Dartmoor on our door step and the beaches & sea side communities on our other step! Dartmoor brings so much adventure and pure ruggedness, with numerous attractions dotted over the moor.

Just 15 minutes away from the site is Teignmouth and Shaldon, steeped in history and coastal walks, one of our favourite spots is the Ferry Boat Inn, a quaint country pub nestled beside the beach at Shaldon – bliss.

However, even closer are the beautiful pubs and amazing attractions in Bovey Tracey and beyond.
