Where to Stay
In and Near Lydford

In addition to being a very interesting place to visit for its own sake,
Lydford is a very convenient centre for visiting the whole of Dartmoor and North & South Devon,
including quaint Clovelly, with its steep cobbled street, on the north coast,
and the very fine city of Exeter with its excellent undercover shopping centres and its Roman walls and riverside quay,
and, in Cornwall, the famous Jamaica Inn on Bodmin Moor, the great and fine Lanhydrock House near Bodmin,
the Eden Project close to St Austell and only about one hour's drive from Lydford,
and quaint fishing ports such as Polperro and Fowey on the south coast.
