Wild swimming - there's the fresh water section of the River Dart outside your door. Swim before breakfast - amazing!
Sharpham Vineyard is a small vineyard and dairy set in the beautiful landscape of the South Hams along the picturesque river Dart. It is set within the Sharpham Estate where Sharpham House, dating back to 1770, resides in a Capability Brown Landscape. Different tours are available, from a self-guided walk with instructed cheese and wine tasting to a riverside walk followed by tutored wine tasting and a light lunch. However, it is necessary to book in advance for longer tours or larger parties. The Estate is also home of the Sharpham Trust which supports diverse projects balancing practical endeavors with spiritual enquiry. Sharpham is a truly inspiring and calming place to spend time.

Lovely self-catering apartment right by the river Dart. Swim before breakfast! Such a relaxing spot, trees, river. Dartmoor and the sea within easy reach.
A self-catering annexe apartment for two, within easy walking distance of the train. You can take a bike, hire a canoe, or visit the alternative and wacky town of Totnes where Riverford Farm foods originated. Everything is organic and green. Little riverside allows you to go for a wild swim in the river right outside the door! Hire a canoe and go shopping down the river or to the pub. Great cafes and pub grub.
Near the sea and near the moors - fantastic situation for everything. Great carbon-free getaway for two.
