Location and what's nearby

Dartmoor National Park, North Bovey, Devon TQ13 8RE

At Bovey Castle, there's very little excuse for not enjoying the fantastic Dartmoor setting. There are tours of the area on foot or by car, guided by experts in the region's history and geography; discover the locations that feature in Steven Spielberg's War Horse. On site, try your hand at archery, clay pigeon shooting and fly fishing. Attend a sloe gin-making (and drinking) session or even hit the 18-hole championship golf course with its undercover and heated golf driving range.

Some activities may incur additional fees.
