Just across the way from Church View Vintage and perfectly located for a for coffee/tea and cake or if you’re in the mood maybe a Cornish cream tea or a light bite?
It’s set in a beautiful location and might also make a good place to relax and ponder how much space you can make in your car for all the gorgeous items you’re planning on treating yourself to after visiting ‘Church View Vintage’

Surrounded by the striking backdrop of Bodmin Moor, Siblyback Lake is a great spot for a day out. There is a wide range of activities at the lake, including: kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding and fishing. You can also hire Watersport equipment or indeed launch your own equipment
There’s also plenty of fun and free things to do, for walkers, runner’s and cyclists there’s a three mile round lake path, the path, which runs adjacent to the lake, passes by the impressive Siblyback Dam and through woodlands, it’s an idyllic location to get outdoors and breathe in some fresh air. Siblyback is home to a variety of wildlife, there’s a bird-hide and an amazing array of flora and fauna
A must for dog walkers, ramblers, cyclists, photographers, romantics, wild swimmers and nature lovers. Dartmoor’s 386 square miles contains so many varied options for visitors. Explore the highest tors on foot, tackle the steepest hills on your bike, hack over the moor on horseback, brave a cold dip while wild swimming, try out kayaking and climbing or enjoy a sedate day fishing, Choose your own adventure…
Burrator Reservoir is situated within Dartmoor National Park, and the tranquil water and surrounding mixed woodland contrasts sharply with the open moor and the rugged Dartmoor tors. A trip here can be combined with a walk across the moors, or enjoyed as a trip of its own with plenty to do – from walking and taking in the views, to fishing for rainbow and brown trout (just be sure to get a permit, available online or by calling South West Lakes). Devon has relatively few lakes, but the situation and quality of these make them a hidden gem in Devon’s crown.
If you’re planning a day out in Dartmoor National Park or maybe visiting National Trust’s Lydford Gorge, we’d highly recommend The Dartmoor Inn, for lunch or dinner – it’s a wonderful restaurant, ideal for foodies, open Wednesday to Sunday, great menu one of our personal favourites. Booking essential.
Seaton Beach is dog friendly all year round, it’s a 40 minutes drive from The Old Station and we love nothing better than putting the dogs in the car and heading to the beach for a dog walk before visiting this wonderful restaurant, It’s one of our local favourites, we recommend ordering a drink, sitting back and enjoying the view… and then savouring the fabulous food. Breakfast and Sunday lunch is superb here too.
Booking essential
Plymouth’s Theatre Royal is well worth a visit. Our previous lives living in the South East provide us with a direct comparison with London’s West End theatre and, in our opinion, you can enjoy a quality show and get superb seats (Usually a better selection of seats available for longer than we experienced in London) for a fraction of the price. If you’re thinking of a memorable night out, check what’s on before your visit, the range and quality of productions is superb across the whole year. We also recommend, in contrast, the smaller theatre “The Drum” housed within the Theatre Royal – it also provides a wonderful range of smaller more intimate theatre productions catering to all tastes
Highly recommended for a distillery tour
The Black Friar’s building dates back to the early 1400s. The most intact part of the distillery is the refectory room, a medieval hall with a fine hull-shaped timber roof built in 1431. It’s one of the oldest buildings in Plymouth, and protected as a precious national monument. Not least because it’s now also an important centre of excellence for gin cocktail making
We also recommend a visit to the atmospheric Refectory Bar for a cocktail
and lunch or dinner in the Barbican Kitchen at Plymouth Gin | www.barbicankitchen.com
Plymouth is a city shaped by the fortunes of sea, trade and war, nowhere more so than in the historic Barbican. Plymouth’s delightful old port, it’s full of narrow cobbled streets (boasting the most in the UK), Elizabethan warehouses, specialist shops, art galleries, cafes, bars and restaurants
The distinctive single-storey glazed building on the waterfront was formerly the old fish market (now re-located to the facing quay on the other side of the harbour) and it has been imaginatively converted into a high quality retail visitor attraction. From the cobbled area outside, if you resume walking along the ancient quays which would have been where the Pilgrims and many of Plymouth’s merchants, mariners, privateers and buccaneers would have passed, over the centuries… This is the place to discover where Sir Francis Drake sailed from and where the Pilgrim Fathers departed to settle the New World (The Mayflower Steps)
