Location

Deer Valley Lodge is situated in Clifford Bridge Park on the banks of the River Teign and within the Dartmoor National Park. If you enjoy peace and tranquillity and love watching wildlife then this is the place for you. There are various accessible walks on your doorstep. Upstream to Fingle Bridge and via the Hunters path to Castle Drogo. Downstream to Steps Bridge and Dunsford through the Dunsford Nature Reserve on the opposite river bank. Behind the lodge the path leads to a National Trust wildlife meadow or uphill to Cob Wood.

If birdwatching is your thing, you may see buzzards soaring above the gorge, dippers, heron and even a kingfisher, if you’re lucky.  Deer occupy the Woodland Trust  woods behind the park and they can be seen in the park sometimes.

In the spring, daffodils fill the waterside meadows, swiftly followed by a carpet of bluebells and the scent of wild garlic. Summer brings clouds of butterflies and dragon flies and insect life common to upland river valleys.
