Tavistock, a lovely small market town, is five minutes away. The covered Pannier Market was built by the Bedford family in local stone and should be seen; it brings together small shops and stalls and a justly famous cheese shop. Endsleigh is close to several beautiful National Trust and English Heritage properties and gardens. If you just want to unwind and relax, read a book from our library in front of our many open fires with a cream tea, or glass of champagne.

The charming Tamar Valley railway runs from nearby Gunnislake to Plymouth, where you can see the historic naval dockyards or take to the sea. There is also a pleasure boat that runs between Calstock and Plymouth at certain times of the year. Exeter Cathedral is a little further away but well worth a visit.
