Sticklepath lies
at the foot of a the high moor (its name derives from
the Saxon ‘staecle’ meaning ‘steep’) along the old ridgeway
path between Exeter and Launceston, once the capital
of Cornwall, and on the northern edge of the Dartmoor
National Park where you can enjoy the peace and quiet,
watch village farming life tending sheep, cattle & crops
and enjoy the moorland landscape with its buzzards,
granite tors, sparkling streams and ancient monuments.
|
|
The village is situated
in the middle of the triangle of Exeter (25 minutes),
Plymouth (40 minutes) and Newquay (60 minutes) airports
and its central location means it is ideally placed
for exploring the whole of the West Country as it is
just off the main A30 trunk route from Exeter to Penzance.
Both coasts are easily reached so you have Ilfracombe,
Clovelly and Westward Ho as well as Exmouth, Torquay
and Looe within an hour's striking distance.

Pony Centre, Lydford Gorge, Buckfast Abbey and Dartmoor
Prison Museum. If you’re lucky, you will be here for
