Local Area and Attractions for White Hill Country Park
Lush countryside, elegant towns, historic rivers and stunning coastlines...
Welcome to South Devon.
Whitehill Country Park lies on the border of the ancient boroughs of Torbay and the South Hams in South Devon, nestled in rolling countryside on the outskirts of the village of Stoke Gabriel, with its traditional inns, tea rooms, parish churchyard and mill pond. Also within easy reach are the riverbanks of the beautiful Dart – perfect for strolls, fishing and crabbing, enjoying a picnic and a good book or launching a boat.
For a more Mediterranean atmosphere swap the green hills of the South Hams for the laid back glamour of nearby Torbay, with its palm-lined boulevards and waterfronts, stunning beaches, picturesque harbours and tempting shops and cafés.
