Steps Bridge, Dartmoor

Doug

May Bank Holiday weekend at Blytheswood Hostel (formerly YHA Steps Bridge) in Devon. We have exclusive use of this cosy wooden chalet overlooking the Teign Valley in secluded woodland on the eastern edge of Dartmoor. Ideal for walking on the rugged Dartmoor Tors as well as enjoying picnics in meadows by the river, wandering through thatched villages and sampling Devon cream teas.

Local attractions include Dunsford Nature Reserve, Castle Drogo and Canonteign Falls. The cathedral city of Exeter is 8 miles away and the beaches of South Devon are just a 40 minute drive.

Directions: The hostel is on the B3212, near Steps Bridge, Dunsford, between Exeter and Moretonhampstead. Look out for the brown Youth Hostel sign. There is a public car park opposite the driveway. Park in there, cross the road and walk up the hill to the hostel. Postcode EX6 7EQ. Duvets, pillows, and linen are all provided.

Deposit £39 please (total will be around £82 including petrol and food).
