The village provides a good selection of shops, including a supermarket, pharmacy, doctors, dentist, a bank, butchers, hairdresser, garage, post office, hotels and inns. The ancient stannary town of Tavistock, to the north, has private education facilities with Kelly College, whilst to the south the portside city of Plymouth provides excellent, educational (including Plymouth College and two Universities), recreational and shopping facilities. There are mainline railway stations to London (Paddington) and ferries to the Continent. Dartmoor is renowned for its spectacular scenery, with its tors, heather clad moorland and wooded valleys, bisected by rushing streams and rivers. There are many opportunities locally for fishing, walking, riding, climbing and cycling, together with the Drakes Trail cycle route, running from Tavistock to Plymouth, passing the entrance to the property, while about 4 miles away is the stunningly beautiful Burrator reservoir. The South Devon coast, with its beaches, estuaries and coastal walks, together with excellent facilities for sailing at Plymouth Sound and on the estuaries of the River Tavy and Tamar, are all within easy reach, while further afield there are the famous centres of Salcombe and Dartmouth. There are golf courses at Whitchurch, Yelverton, Saltash and St. Mellion. At the bottom of the garden and just slightly off to the right is the village cricket ground and Roborough Down.
