The local area
The sleepy village of Cornworthy is the perfect location to enjoy some peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Tucked away down winding country lanes on the banks of the majestic River Dart, the village is made up of a smattering of pretty cottages, a ruined 13th century priory, interesting church and a popular pub, The Hunter’s Lodge, all surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside South Devon has to offer.
Using your holiday cottage in Cornworthy as a base you can kick back and relax in the immediate area with lots of easy walks along the riverbank perhaps to the neighbouring village of Tuckenhay just a mile away with two more excellent waterside pubs to try. Or in the other direction is pretty Dittisham where children catch crabs off the pontoon in the sunshine, dinghies and paddleboards skim across the water and ferries take you upstream to the historic port of Dartmouth or across the river to Agatha Christie's former home at Greenaway. Or if the need to explore a little further grips you, within a short drive you could be flopping on the beautiful golden beach at Blackpool Sands or discovering the many other beautiful beaches and sheltered coves dotting the nearby coastline.
Holidays in Cornworthy are blissfully relaxed but if you want a little more adventure everything South Devon has to offer is within easy reach.
