Bovey Tracey is a beautiful, small town known as "The Gateway to the Moor" lies tucked away in the River Bovey valley. The winding river that runs through Bovey Tracey gave the town its name, with "Tracey" standing for the family that held the manor following the Norman Conquest. It has a rich history that includes significant role in the English Civil War, which gave the town's bar, "The Cromwell Arms," which offers excellent ale and delectable food, its name. The History Centre, which is next to the Dartmoor National Park Authority, has information on the town's past. Together with the breath-taking Mill Marsh Park and the Dartmoor Whisky Distillery, which offers guided tours, Bovey Tracey offers a variety of shops and cafés. The Dartmoor National Park, which offers apparently infinite walking and cycling pathways as well as stunning scenery, is located right outside the town.

Devon, with its quiet country lanes, patchwork of lush green fields and sleepy villages is not to be missed. Stately home lovers will be spoiled and why not finish with a scrumptious Devonshire cream tea?
