Whistlandpound Resevoir
Wistlandpound Reservoir is the perfect destination for a short walk with some nice picnic spots. Sometimes you just want to go for a short stroll in beautiful and peaceful surroundings, leaving the longer walks for a day when you’ve got more oomph. So, on a fine afternoon if you can tear yourselves away from Coulscott, you can drive the short distance to nearby Wistlandpound Reservoir for a walk which is also good for dogs; they can come off the lead, but exercise your own judgement around the picnics!

Combe Martin
Our nearby sheltered bay is perfect for many recreations including kayaking and paddle-boarding and it attracts seals and dolphins too, but most importantly is dog friendly too for most of the year (sadly dogs are not allowed between May 1 and September 30). At high tide the beach is a pebbly sand but as the tide retreats it reveals a sandy beach and some of the best rock pools along the whole coast! The nearest beach is also a big hit with the dogs (for most of the year!).
