1. Brentor Church

Situated on an extremely steep hill deep into Dartmoor, Brentor Church looks like a scene from a Christmas card in the middle of winter.

2. Badgers Holt

Placed just up where the East and West Dart rivers meet, Badgers Holt is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing winter in Devon. With the glistening river's waters bouncing off the array of boulders, and bridges that allow you to see far and wide, Badgers Holt definitely looks amazing in winter. Walk up and down the river and explore all that Dartmoor has to offer in this stunning setting.

3. Wembury Beach

Visit Wembury Beach and look out at the Mewstone during any Devon winter walk. With the crashing waves and the bright winter sun being mirrored off the sea, you can stare at this winter view for hours. A wonderful place to visit with the family.

Full of little unique shops, Dartmouth really comes to life during winter, contrary to popular belief. Stroll along through the winding narrow streets of the town and look out at the River Dart as the boats go past. A great view to enjoy during the quieter months.
