Situation
Buckfastleigh Moor is located in south Dartmoor, one of the last great wildernesses in the UK with an inspirational landscape of heather clad moors and rugged tors. The property itself is in open countryside about 3 miles from the market town of Buckfastleigh and 25 miles from the two regional cities, Exeter & Plymouth. The A38 dual carriageway (4 miles) provides excellent accessibility to the area which is popular with tourists due to an abundance of visitor attractions and prime natural landscapes including the moor, as well as the Devon coast and the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Buckfastleigh Moor is however, in a more secluded and less visited part of the moor.
