Worswell Barton Farm

Worswell Barton is hidden away in a magical corner of the South Hams, about a mile from the picture postcard villages of Noss Mayo and Newton Ferrers, situated on the mouth of the river Yealm. The two villages are separated by a tidal creek, which can be crossed on foot at low tide.

This area is in an area of outstanding natural beauty, with wooded hills sloping down to the water, and great open views towards Dartmoor and, when on the coastal footpath, views towards Cornwall and Burgh Island.

This property is in a peaceful location, with only the sounds of daily farm activities as Farmer Phil and the boys go about their duties.

The South Devon Coastal Path surrounds us, so whether you enjoy walking or exploring this fantastic local quiet countryside, or want to spend lazy days on the river, on a hired boat, bird watching, fishing or visiting local beaches, Worswell could well be the place you are looking for.

There is plenty to do in the area, we have beaches with easy access or a little more difficult, depending on how adventurous you are. We are also within easy reach of villages such as Modbury, Ermington, Yealmpton and Brixton. The historic City of Plymouth is about 12 miles away, and only a few miles more will bring you to the scenic glories of the Dartmoor National Park. To read more about us, please click here.
