Runs onReservation Kit
Local area
Sea, moor and a pub, all within half an hour.
The Haddon valley runs from the moor to the sea, and we’re halfway down it. Times are from our gate, in the car unless we say otherwise, and in no particular hurry.
Village and pub
Haddon and the Drover's Rest
20 minutes on foot, up the lane or along the stream path
A street of thatched cottages, a church with a very loud bell and the Drover's Rest, which does proper pub food, local cider and a quiz on Wednesdays. The stream path is the nicer way; take a torch for the walk back.
Beach
Scarrow Cove
25 minutes by car, then 10 minutes down the cliff path
A small sandy cove between two headlands, with rock pools at low tide and no café, so take the picnic. The path down is steep but short. The coast path runs along the top in both directions.
Moorland walk
Haddon Moor and Bellstone Tor
15 minutes by car to the Bellstone car park, then 40 minutes up
Open moor at the head of the valley, purple with heather in August, with Bellstone Tor at the top: a heap of granite with a view to the sea on a clear day. The stream that runs past your tent starts up here.
Steam railway
Haddon Valley Steam Railway
10 minutes by car to Wenford Halt
Seven miles of branch line down the valley to Chaddlecombe and back, pulled by a tank engine the volunteers have been restoring since 1979. Weekends from Easter, and every day in the summer holidays.
Farm shop
Fennimore Farm Shop
5 minutes by car, or 25 minutes on foot across the fields
Sausages and burgers for the barbecue, eggs from the yard, cider, cheese and Fennimore's own ice cream, which is worth the walk on its own.
Market town
Chaddlecombe
20 minutes by car, or the steam train
The nearest town: a Thursday market in the square, an ironmonger that sells every tent peg ever made, a launderette, a chemist and the nearest supermarket.
