Location & Things to Do Near Coombe Park

Coombe Park is set just outside Chillington in the South Hams, an excellent base for combining peaceful countryside with the beaches and villages of the South Devon coast. Chillington itself has a village shop, Post Office and pub, all approximately half a mile from the property.

The nearest stretch of coast is around Slapton and Torcross. Slapton Sands is approximately 2.5 miles away and forms a long shingle shoreline backed by Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve. The beach stretches for several miles, making it popular for walks, while the freshwater lake and surrounding habitats provide a contrasting landscape immediately behind the coast.

Torcross sits at the southern end of Slapton Sands and is only a short drive from the house. From here, visitors can follow the coast towards Beesands, Hallsands and Start Point, with sections of the South West Coast Path offering extensive views across Start Bay.

Kingsbridge is approximately three miles away and is the nearest larger town, with supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants. From Kingsbridge, groups can continue towards Salcombe for sailing, beaches, waterside dining and coastal scenery.

Dartmouth is another rewarding day out, reached along a particularly scenic coastal route. The town combines a historic harbour with boat trips, restaurants, galleries and independent shops.

Closer to the property, Stokeley Farm Shop provides a café, food shop, deli, butcher and garden centre. Golf is also available within easy driving distance.

With beaches, coastal paths, countryside walks and several South Hams towns all close by, Coombe Park works particularly well for larger groups who want plenty of variety during their stay while retaining the space and facilities of a secluded country property.
