We can't praise Andy and his boys enough. They have a fantastic set up in a beautiful location. They provide quality equipment and have obviously put a lot of thought into how to make the experience fun and entertaining. The tuition is excellent and we both improved our skills considerably. Dragon Archery is fantastic value for money and we would love to go back one day.

Torrington cycle hire is conveniently located next to the Tarka trail with free parking in the old station car park. We hired two bikes for our children for the afternoon by just calling in. The owners/staff were all friendly and helpful and we were quickly issued a couple of bikes with helmets and puncture kit. Price was reasonable and we had a lovely afternoon walking the trail towards Bideford whilst the children cycled. Would highly recommend.

Had an absolutely fantastic day with Gigha on the stained glass and driftwood workshop. There were an abundance of wonderful materials to choose from, clear instructions and all the help needed. The workshop space is so inviting, warm and friendly with Gigha’s beautiful creations all around to feast your eyes on. The hardest part of the day was my own decision making and choosing from all the wonderful colours and textures. Truly a fantastic experience and whilst I’m not local I will 100% be back for more... thank you Gigha

We visited Rosemoor on 23rd August when the late summer perennial borders were at their astonishing best. We loved the borders, the rose garden, the interesting collection of trees and the incredible fruit & vegetable garden with it endless rows of lettuce and espaliered apples. Just excellent!
10. Cobbaton Combat Collection

Reviewed By UsOnOurTravels
This collection of wartime equipment, paraphernalia, vehicles, artillery, weapons, clothing etc is staggering. Well presented and so much to see you’ll need two trips around. We enjoyed it and our two 11yo boys did too. As with many venues, it’s the people that make it, The Cobbaton Combat Collection is well staffed with knowledgeable informative and friendly staff who are clearly all enthusiasts. There’s a HUGE selection of military based items and clothing for sale in the shop, which doesn’t feel like a shop. The Nafi Van was well stocked and the service was excellent - the pasties were delicious.
