The Venue 2016We have been fortunate to secure a fabulous venue on the outskirts of Plymouth. The views out across Shaugh Prior and Sheepstor will give you a taste of the beautiful moorland walks on our doorstep, and there are plenty of surrounding facilities and attractions that we hope you will enjoy. Here is a guide to a few of them.

Pubs/Dining
There are a couple of great options for dining out, or heading out for a drink.
The nearest pub is The Lopes Arms. The food here is excellent, we can highly recommend them. This pub is in walking distance and is dog friendly, though it is not a huge pub.
27-29 Tavistock Road

The Dartmoor Diner is another brilliant option for a hearty home-cooked style meal, particularly nice if you fancy a walk across the moor. Again, the food is excellent and portions generous! Dogs are welcome in the picnic areas outside.

Local Attractions
The most impressive local attraction, of course, is Dartmoor National Park. I don't think we need to try to sell this to you. Just a minute or two from the venue we have miles upon miles of open moorland, rivers and tors. Dogs are welcome across the moor year round, but please remember to keep close control around livestock.
Other attractions include National Trust properties Buckland Abbey, Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park which is great for dog walking and a cuppa, and Wembury Beach which is dog friendly on the West side all year round.
