About Gidleigh Wood
Get down to Devon and Dartmoor National Park, where Gidleigh Wood's simple grass pitches sit within a stunning 150-acre site of conifer and broadleaf trees in the north Teign valley. It's an exceptionally peaceful location with views over surrounding hills and woodland, plus a mile of river frontage where you can admire the water's unusual peaty tint. Numerous woodland tracks make this a walker's and cyclist's dream – one climbs to Princeps Tor at 333 metres – and a footbridge leads you onto the open moors, where 365 square miles of Dartmoor await. Nearby walks reach Kestor Rock and ancient standing stones, while the Mariners Way (part of the Two Moors Way) runs right through the trees, making this a popular stop for Duke of Edinburgh expeditions and long-distance hikers.
Facilities are intentionally basic: showers, compost toilets and washing-up, but no mains water point. It can feel a touch spartan if you prefer more comfort, but for those seeking a genuine back-to-nature experience in one of Devon's most scenic corners, Gidleigh Wood delivers beautifully.
