Cadbury Castle

Turn off the A3072 into Cadbury village. Follow the green sign ‘Footpath to Cadbury Castle’ follow the road down past the parish church which will be on your right.
Two options for parking a) outside the church, then walk along the lane to the start of the path on your left b) in the lay-by on Milk Hill.
From the lay-by walk straight up the hill to the path on the corner. This path is very muddy and quite steep in some places. The path becomes a track which takes you through a wood, you will see a farm gate on your right – take a look at the view! You will then find yourself in a field – follow the track up. There is a small wooden sign pointing you in the direction of Cadbury Castle. All dogs must be kept on a lead  as sheep can be found along the walk. Head towards the gate at the top of the field, you will see an information board upon your arrival.
You will immediately see the outer earthwork and you can’t miss the view. As you walk around the site you will see a number of information boards about the history of the hillfort, highlighting what you can see e.g. Dartmoor and Exmoor.The views over the valley below are breathtaking. It is no wonder the site was used, you can see for miles. The Cadbury dragon must have always been able to find his way home!

To return follow the track back down the hill.

Bloomberry Juice

Bloomberry Juice

Bloomberry Juice is a family run business which was set up to provide fresh juice cocktails and smoothies at various events throughout the country. Within a year of starting people were asking to take home our juices. This launched the juice cocktails in glass bottles with a twist of bloom in our berry drinks. Since then, Bloomberry Juice has produced a diverse range of drinks, using local ingredients where possible. We press our own apples and freeze until required for production, enabling us to maintain freshness.

Our guiding principles – we don’t use added sugar [only local honey in 2 products], we don’t add preservatives or any other additive, and no concentrated juices, just pressed. So our products are as natural as they can be. We collect our own floral extracts in season, fuse and freeze until required. We introduce new recipes when new fruit become available, like our Apple & Blackcurrant. We try to give those not drinking alcohol a satisfying experience whether drunk in a wine glass or high glass with ice or even with sparkling water for a more refreshing drink.

Exe Valley Glamping

Exe Valley Glamping

Welcome to Exe Valley Glamping. Set within 150 acres on our family farm, Exe Valley Glamping is the perfect place to reconnect with nature. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery and relax with friends & family - all without sacrificing home comforts.

About Us

Exe Valley Glamping was established by father and son team - Robin & Patrick.  ​Wanting to diversify their family farm by promoting responsible and sustainable tourism, glamping was an appealing option to both country enthusiasts.  Patrick has over two decades of hospitality experience. Having recently moved his young family back to Devon, he felt it was an opportunity to put his experience into something closer to his heart.

"Mid Devon is a great spot.  It's full of old world charm and retains a sense of a by-gone era, which is really appealing to those wanting to experience an authentic holiday or staycation."

The pair set off to create what is an ever evolving project, offering guests tailored experiences, sumptuous hospitality and a wealth of natural activities to engage.

Canvas Lodges

Up a woodland trail, you'll find a secret hideaway revealing each of our canvas lodges.  Their unique charm and thoughtful design will provide not just comfort, but an experience the whole family will enjoy. Everything you require for a perfect nature escape is here.

Each tent is purpose-built to make your glamping holiday fuss-free and easy so you can relax and unwind from everyday stresses.  Powered by nature, our eco-conscious lodges use solar energy and wood collected through woodland management. This provides heat and maximum comfort without relinquishing the benefits or adventure of outdoor living.

Soft linen, plump pillows & cozy duvets will be beckoning at the end of each day.  Snuggling down for the night will be about as difficult as waking up to birdsong, the smell of freshly ground coffee & knowing you have a breakfast hamper full of fresh goodies on your doorstep.  It is luxury camping after all!

Tents feature 3 bedrooms - one King & one Twin, each with their own access to the shower & loo.  The twin can be converted into a generous Superking for couples sharing. But the ultimate snug is the whimsical cabin bedroom featuring its own canopy, double mattress & hatched doors. It also doubles up as the perfect children's den and night-time refuge (if you can get there first!)

Wilderness adventures for the whole family.

Kids love nothing better than sleeping under canvas, toasting marshmallows, and discovering wildlife hidden under logs and in pebbled streams.  At Exe Valley Glamping, the whole family can enjoy woodland walks, picnics on the River Exe or wading on the pebbled bank.  All just a stone’s throw from your tent!

Each canvas tent has board games, puzzles and books so families can enjoy precious time and unwind together.  Whatever age your kids, there's something for everyone; adventures for thrill seekers, explorers, and moochers.

Lapford

Welcome to Lapford

Lapford is a parish and traditional rural village in the heart of the Devonshire countryside, overlooking the river Yeo.  Steeped in history, Lapford has traces back to the Iron Age being a place of worship by the Celts.

The village features a playing field with two play areas, football pitch and fenced playground.  There is also a request-stop railway station on the Tarka line, which runs between Exeter and Barnstaple.

Interesting Facts

  • Lapford falls under an area of Devon known as 'the River country' for the many rivers the run nearby.
  • The nearby Bury Barton is the site of a Roman fort.  It is thought to be a large pre-Flavian fort that was succeeded by a smaller one, which in turn was later abandoned early in the Flavian period.
  • In the early part of the 20th century, the milk processing company Ambrosia had a large creamery and processing facility at Lapford.
  • The village is said to be haunted by two ghosts.  The first is the former Vicar of Lapford's church, the St Thomas of Canterbury Church, John Radford. He murdered his curate in the 1860s, but was spared from the gallows by a jury of his village parishioners. For his dying wish, he asked to be buried in the church chancel. However, the church authorities would not allow this.  Instead, he was buried outside the vestry door where his grave can still be seen today. As a result, his angry spirit is said to still wander around the village.  Lapford is also said to be haunted by the spirit of the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket. Every 29th December, on the anniversary of his murder, he gallops through the village on a white horse on his way to confront his murderer Sir William de Tracey.

Things to Do and Places to See

  • Visit the grade I listed parish church dedicated to St Thomas of Canterbury.  Originally a Norman chapel, the chapel was rebuilt and extended by Sir William De Tracey (on the orders of King Henry II) as penance for his part in the murder of Thomas Becket in 1170.  De Tracey was lord of the manor of Bradninch, which at that time, included what is now Lapford.  The church features a late 15th Century carved screen, which is uniquely carved on both sides.
  • Lapford Village Market takes place on the last Saturday each month at Lapford Victory Hall.  The market runs from 11am to 1pm with various stalls and light lunches available.
  • Eggesford Forest

Places to Eat

  • The village has one pub - The old Malt Scoop Inn, an old coaching inn from the 16th Century - that offers an à la carte menu, daily specials and Sunday roasts.  The pub also hosts regular events including quiz nights and karaoke as well as themed meals for special occasions.  In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the pub was also the local undertakers and the original laying-out table can still be seen in the kitchen bar (minus the bodies of course).
  • Nearby villages offer restaurant food at local pubs including The Lymington Arms at Wembworthy and The Devonshire Dumpling at Down St Mary.

Cruwys Morchard

Welcome to Cruwys Morchard

Cruwys Morchard is a scattered parish about four miles west of Tiverton along the Witheridge road.  The parish is named after the Cruwys family who have been Lords of the Manor there since the reign of King John.

Many notable people hail from Cruwys Morchard including Robert Cruwys (the cricketer and clergyman) and Margaret Campbell Speke Cruwys (a Devon historian).  Sir Robert Cruwys (who was knighted for his service in France during the Hundred Years War in the 1300s) and Robertus de Cruwes MP for Devon in 1340 and 1344, are also both from Cruwys Morchard.

The parish church of the Holy Cross was built in 1529, on the site of a former wooden church.  In 1689, lightning struck the church tower causing a destructive fire, following which much of the interior was refurbished.

Cruwys Morchard has two pubs that offer food: The Cruwys Arms (a 16th century inn in Pennymoor) and The Mount Pleasant Inn at Nomansland.  Restaurants in nearby villages include: the award-winning Cadeleigh Arms at Cadeleigh, Le Petite Bouchée at Witheridge and the Ring of Bells and Half Moon Inn at Cheriton Fitzpaine
