Hardy's Cottage hideway in the woods

Thorncombe Woods are very pleasant for a gentle stroll and hidden in the trees is Hardy's Cottage (approx 15 mins walk from the car park). The cottage is delightful and the guides give an excellent history of Hardy's family life

Perfect for dogs

Fantastic dog walking area with lots of paths, some main others criss crossing. Good parking spaces.
