Villages in Devon

Devon has many villages tucked away, many of which will never be found by visitors and some not even found by locals!  We ware compiling a short list of those we consider of merit and can be reached relatively easily.

Stoke Gabriel  On the edge of the River Dart, with its own millpond and a great cafe on the Quay. There are a couple of good pubs and for the more adventurous canoes can be hired down on the river.  A few miles from Paignton, turn left off the Totnes road just on the outskirts of Paignton. Aish is also local hamlet within walking distance of Stoke Gabriel.

Maidencombe Only a few miles along thr road from Shaldon and more of a hamlet than a village. There is a small beach at the bottom of "Steep Hill" and  a pub (no suprise). Turn left just before the garage at the bottom of the hill just after Labrador Bay.

Coffinswell  This is a small village just off the A380, the road between Torquay and Newton Abbot. Coffinswell has a Norman church close to Court Barton, a manor house reaching back to 16th century. Like many places in Devon it has a number of cob and thatch cottages. Working up through the village you reach the hamlet of Daccombe.
