A quintessential 17th Century Inn set in an area of
outstanding natural beauty,
at the bottom of a steep valley next to Bow Creek and bridge.
The Inn has been used as a smithy, a brew house, petrol station, a prison
and a haunt for the feared press gangs. The area was recorded in the
doomsday book.

6. RIVERSIDE PINT. Devon Ale foaming over tonsils, water foaming over rocks, the sun shining down and the hand pumps gushing: a waterside pub makes summer complete. The perfect spot is highly subjective – but we defy you not to fall in love with the 17th-century Waterman’s Arms, overlooking tinkling Bow Creek, near Tuckenhay. Hidden away at the bottom of a steep valley, the streamside tables are perfect for savouring a pint of the fine Palmer’s Copper Ale. The lunches, sourced from local suppliers and served under an outdoor awning, attract foodies from as far away as Exeter and Plymouth. Accommodation available, doubles from £80, B&B; 01803 732214,
