The local area
The pretty hamlet of Tuckenhay is peacefully nestled in the picturesque Dart Valley, yet within easy reach of Totnes, Dartmouth and the South Devon coast. Known for its unspoilt tree-lined banks, secret creeks, and sweeping countryside, its natural beauty attracts walkers, bird lovers, photographers, artists, and fishermen, whilst its waterside position lends itself perfectly for sailors, kayakers and paddleboarders.
Tuckenhay is only 20 minutes' drive from the beautiful beach at Blackpool Sands, popular among families, and around half an hour from the famous surfing beach at Bantham. Numerous other natural beaches and sheltered coves dot the nearby coastline, and many breath-taking coastal walks can be enjoyed on the magnificent South West Coast Path. Meanwhile, the wild beauty of Dartmoor lies just 20 minutes' away in the other direction.
Nearby Totnes, with its winding streets, historic town walls and ancient castle offers a wide selection of independent shops, delis, cafés and pubs. Whilst the historic harbour town of Dartmouth provides picturesque shopping and dining, and plenty of opportunities to get on the water.
A holiday cottage in Tuckenhay provides an idyllic peaceful retreat just a stone's throw from vibrant towns and the stunning South Devon coastline.
