Blue flowers at Cann Wood

On the east side of Plymouth lies Cann Woods, known locally as Plym Forest, in the valley of the stunning River Plym

Covering an area of 230 hectares, Cann Wood is a great place to explore mixed forest with areas of broadleaved woodland mingling with newly planted conifer.

Once part of the area’s industrial past, this diverse woodland now supports a wide variety of plant and animal life including some of the UK’s rarest butterfly species. Come and see what you can spot! 

 

River and conifer trees

Bellever Forest is an unmissable stop on your visit to Dartmoor National Park. Explore one of several waymarked walking trails, discover incredible archaeology, take in the breathtaking views from Bellever Tor, or enjoy a relaxing picnic on the riverbank surrounded by native Dartmoor ponies.*

Fernworthy's position at the edge of Fernworthy Reservoir provides extensive opportunities for walking, nature spotting, and enjoying the peace of Dartmoor.
