Holne September 2019 This settlement profile has been prepared by Dartmoor National Park Authority to provide an overview of key information and issues for the settlement. It has been prepared in consultation with Parish/Town Councils and will be updated as necessary. Settlement Profile: Holne 1 Introduction Holne is a small nucleated village with an irregular form lying on the south eastern slopes of Dartmoor about 3.5 miles west of Ashburton. There is a limited range of community services. The village is centred on its church, St Mary the Virgin, the Church House Inn and the village hall. A community shop and tea room has also been in operation for some time. Farming is important locally as well as tourism accommodation and hospitality. The central area is quite substantial and the oldest buildings are located here. The churchyard is of generous size. The site being slightly elevated ensures that the church stands proudly over its village.

    The Accommodation

    The Accommodation Five bedrooms Utility (one en suite) Garage Bathroom and WC Parking Shower room and WC Delightful garden Sitting room Beautiful views Large lounge/dining Double glazing room Oil fired CH Kitchen/breakfast room Description A substantial family home in the centre of this charming village on the southern slopes of Dartmoor. Playcroft was originally three thatched properties dating back at least two centuries and the history of ownership goes back well over a hundred years. During the twentieth century the houses were converted into one unit and the roof rebuilt to a more modern standard. Playcross has a very attractive rear elevation which looks out over the main garden which is a delightful and fairly level lawn interspersed with a number of colourful trees and shrubs. The present owners, who have lived in Playcroft for many years, take a delight in their garden and it is a profusion of colour in the spring and early summer. In addition to the back is a further large garden to the side of the property which also has an area of lawn, flowers, a large variety of plants and is enclosed by mature beech hedgerows and fencing. In this part of the garden is the detached, single garage, large woodshed (which is large enough to take a table tennis table), greenhouse and small outhouse immediately behind the house with its own fireplace. This outhouse is block built, and also has a quarry tiled floor, storage heater, power and light and a lean to coal/woodstore adjoining it. There are some lovely views from the garden and particularly from the first floor windows to the property.

    DARTMOOR WALK DEVON DARTMOOR WALK DEVON A 4-day trip to Devon to walk across one of Britain's finest moorlands, Dartmoor. Starting on the South Coast near Plymouth, you will walk north through some stunning valleys up onto 'the last wilderness in England'. Crossing Dartmoor, you will have amazing views across South West England, as well as pass old settlements and tin mines before returning each evening to your hotel in Chagford 26th September - 29th September 2021 Devon, South West England Maximum Group Size 8 Moderate Looking west to Warren House Inn WELCOME I first properly discovered Dartmoor, when I was serving in the British Army and ran several Leadership Development exercises on and around Dartmoor. So I am really happy to be able to return and offer this amazing walk across Dartmoor. As long as the weather holds, you will enjoy some of the best views in South West England. You are in safe hands and can relax and fully enjoy the walk and journey I take you on. I focus on providing immersive and original experiences that take you on a journey physically, as well as an enriching metaphorical journey in your life. Adventure is an integral part of being human. When in the great outdoors, in a location you have never been to before, and where you may find yourself outside your physical comfort zone, you end up learning more about yourself. These type of walks opens your mind, and you will surprise yourself at what you are capable of achieving. It facilitates personal growth and development while also having fun.
