The farm is a 280 acre family run beef, sheep and arable farm set in the tranquil
surroundings of the unspoilt Tamar Valley and enjoys stunning views across to
Dartmoor.
Formerly owned and farmed by HRH Prince Charles, Duke of Cornwall, the area
is steeped in history dating back to the 14th Century when it was an ancient
Royal Deer Park.
Today's visitors are welcome to see the many farming activities throughout
the seasons - from lambing in the springtime through silage and haymaking and
into harvest in autumn.

Local
Attractions
The peaceful Tamar Valley, an area of outstanding natural beauty with its spectacular
scenery and wealth of mining history, offers a variety of walks and trails.
Kit Hill Country Park and Luckett Nature Reserve both support wildlife including
rare orchids and the Fritillary butterfly. The Tamar Valley Discovery Trail
passes close by the farm, and from here it is possible to walk to Horsebridge,
with its friendly pub, serving good food and real ales, or in the other direction
to Gunnislake, St Anns Chapel and the Rifle Volunteer Inn.
Local National Trust properties include Cotehele, Buckland Abbey, Antony House
and Lanhydrock House, all within reasonable driving distance. The recently restored
Endsleigh Gardens, on the river, are a short distance away.
The River Tamar sports both salmon fishing and canoe expeditions locally. St
Mellion Golf and Country Club boasts two 18-hole courses, and nearby Dartmoor
National Park offers 368 square miles of moorland and tors, wooded valleys and
picturesque villages, with horse riding and outdoor pursuits.
Close to Deer Park Farm is the Tamar Valley Donkey Park, and the Victorian
mining village at Morwelham Quay.
The world famous Eden Project is less than hour's drive, and only a short distance
beyond lie Lost Gardens of Heligan.
The south coast and its fine sandy beaches are only 30 minutes drive. Nearby the quaint old fishing villages of Looe and Polperro offer shark fishing and sea sailing. Back along the coast, the historic city of Plymouth with its famous Hoe and Barbican has a wide range of shops, entertainment and activities, and can be reached via the Tamar Valley Railway Line, one of the most scenic branch lines in England.
For local amenities, the ancient market towns of Liskeard, Launceston, Callington
and Tavistock have a wide range of shops, entertainment and leisure facilities.
The Wharf in Tavistock offers cultural and light entertainment, and in summer
Sterts theatre provides open air performances as well as arts and crafts workshops.
