View of Dartmoor from The Tors Inn

Highlight • Restaurant

You'll be hard stretched to find a beer garden that rivals this one, with views right out onto the moorland from The Tors Inn at the heart of Belstone.

The Tors Inn itself also comes highly recommended, whether you're looking for a hearty meal or a quick drink and chips! In the summer months, they also open their outside bar which makes it all too easy...

Finch Foundry

Highlight • Structure

Now under the care of the National Trust, Finch Foundry is hidden away in the pretty village of Sticklepath. This incredible water-powered forge is still operable and it’s now used to provide demonstrations for visitors. It was in active use until 1960.

The foundry was created at the beginning of the 19th century and was a family business for its entire lifespan. A fascinating business history makes visiting the foundry museum well worth the stop, not to mention there’s cake and tea on offer in the cafe. It also has a pretty garden which the National Trust has worked hard to restore.
