Campsite owners were delightful and very helpful when booking - The campsite is off the beaten track but easy to find with a sat nav and not far from Newton Abbot - We stayed in one of the cottages overlooking the fields which was so peaceful ! The cottage itself was absolutely lovely , everything you needed to make it home from home including a dishwasher and a washing machine , bedding , towels , tea towels , also we got some cake , eggs and milk on our arrival , such a lovely gesture ! WiFi was absolutely brilliant too ! - This is a working farm but you would never of thought it as it was so peaceful , the only noise was the cows in the morning having a good ole mooo - the rest of the site was lovely and clean and there is even an outdoor pool to enjoy in the warmer months - This is definitely worth a stay either in one of the lovely cottages or camping which ever you prefer - lots of things to do around Devon , beautiful beaches , lovely walks and lovely places to visit !

Since 1999 a group of enthusiasts have dedicated themselves to the preservation and restoration of the Stover Canal in South Devon, England. Built in the 18th Century, the canal was used for nearly 150 years to transport clay and other minerals from the Bovey Basin, and granite from quarries on Dartmoor, to the docks at Teignmouth.
I spent just over two hours to walk from Jetty Marsh up to Ventiford Basin and back. The work put in by the Stover Canal Trust to restore features along the way is impressive, particularly Graving Dock Lock and Ventiford Basin. The southern end of the canal at Jetty Marsh was not obvious to find, the lock area itself is somewhat overgrown, and this end of the canal still has water. Walking north along this part of the canal path was peaceful, I only met a couple of other walkers. At Teignbridge clay cellars there is a cafe (MT Tums) where I enjoyed a cup of tea, North from Teignbridge Lock the path is sometimes shared with the Stover Trail so watch out for cyclists. The canal bed here is now dry and full of plants. Graving Dock Lock is fascinating, (and possibly unique among canal locks), a lot of work has gone into the restoration here. At Teigngrace Lock the keepers cottage is a private residence but views of the old lock can be enjoyed. At Ventiford Basin the most impressive feature is the uncovered remains of the granite tramway around the quay.
