Discover the historic charm and Dartmoor beauty of Sticklepath, a welcoming Devon village for car-free explorers
Nestled on the northern fringes of Dartmoor National Park, Sticklepath is a delightful Devon village brimming with character. A visit here is a journey back in time, particularly at the National Trust’s Finch Foundry, a captivating water-powered forge where you can witness ancient machinery in action.
Being on the edge of Dartmoor, this village is a walker’s paradise. Lace up your boots and explore the beautiful Belstone Cleave or follow parts of the renowned Tarka Trail, offering stunning views across the Taw valley and up to Cosdon Hill. Afterwards, unwind at one of the welcoming local pubs, perhaps the thatched 16th-century Devonshire Inn. Enjoying Sticklepath and its glorious surroundings on foot means you can truly soak up the serene atmosphere and natural splendour.
