Take a stroll alongside the river Bovey and follow its twist and turning path through the beautiful Parke Estate Woods, or perhaps have a round of golf. With four courses located in close proximity, beginners to the more experienced players are welcome to take a shot at the sport.
Along with the serenity of Bovey Tracey, the town itself has a very colourful history. During the English civil war, the battle of Bovey heath took place between Royalist and Cromwellian soldiers, following this, a section of Bovey Heath has now been deemed a ‘scheduled ancient monument’ where a number of important artefacts can still be found to this day.
