Raddicombe Lodge is two miles from Brixham and Dartmouth in South Devon. The lodge is close to the South West Coast Path, which leads to tucked away coves, harbour towns and estuaries – some of the most superb scenery to be found anywhere in Britain.

We are also close to the River Dart Trail which runs alongside the River Dart from Kingswear, via Greenway and Galmpton towards Totnes. Plus we can suggest six of our favourite walks based from Kingswear. The later being circular routes around coast, river and village.

The lodge is a short journey from Dartmoor, where you are spoilt for choice by the many varied walking opportunities, from the open moorland to picturesque river valleys.

We offer self-guided walking holidays. We provide encapsulated plans of local walks, maps and walking guides and lots of free advice on gentle scenic village and riverside strolls to more adventurous moorland or coastal walks.

April, May and June are our favourite months for walking. Glorious carpets of bluebells and their heady scent, new born lambs running in the fields, walking at this time of year leaves you with a feeling of fresh vitality. What a great time to enjoy walking here in Devon. We would also recommend walking breaks in September when the summer rush is over. The coastline scenery is still full of colour at that time of the year.

Individuals or Walking Groups

We welcome individual walkers, couples, families and walking groups of up to 16 people who can book the entire lodge. For groups of over 10 we can provide evening meals, plus we are licenced so you can enjoy a drink in the evening!
