Tottiford Resevoir

Reviewed By BINGBONG101 - Torquay, United Kingdom

We decided to visit Tottiford reservoir for the day as a family as we had never been there before and I had passed it accidently one day whilst working. Tottiford reservoir is located between Trenchford and Kennick reservoirs just North of Bovey Tracey and we ere so glad we went. The scenery is stunning and you could well imagine yourself somewhere remote in the Canadian Rockies. Great for walking and taking your dog with plenty of areas to sit and relax around the reservoir, we also took a bbq as the sun was out and we intended spending a full day there. There were a few other people walking around the area but to be honest it was surprisingly quiet which was nice. The kids were able to have a little paddle in the water (not sure if they are meant to or not...but they did anyway) which kept them all entertained. If you enjoy the outdoors and a bit of family time then I highly recommend visiting here. A stunning little gem of a place to get away from it all for the day.

Dawlish Lawn and Dawlish Water

Reviewed By castle1_10 - Leeds, United Kingdom

Well maintained looked after lawn and water very popular place to chill out. Clean public toilets at the start of the town end shops and eateries both sides of the centre waterway. Famed for the black swans and mallard ducks here. Nice to wander up one side down the other on a warm sunny afternoon

Dart Harbour

Reviewed By lovetrav_9 - Old Colwyn, United Kingdom

Dartmouth and its harbour are in a superb setting and we never tire of returning there. Parking in not always easy to find, but the pleasure we have from just strolling around is always worth the effort of finding a car space. There are a number of interesting and different shops to browse in and we invariably receive a lovely welcome whether we buy or not. We also enjoy the great views across the River Dart to Kingswear and down towards the sea. We recommend a visit to this lovely town.
