Cockington Country Park is a beautiful mix of picturesque well-ordered garden landscapes, open parkland, rural countryside and substantial woodland. Tucked in amongst this 450 acre park are three pretty ornamental lakes, a historic Manor House with craft centre and studios, a chocolate box village, delightful thatched cottages and a quaint church. All can be explored through a network of paths and bridleways, both on foot or by bike. Our Visitor Centre, located in the village, offers plenty of information about the park, its history, wildlife and the work of the Trust, as well as a selection of gifts and sundries.
A beautiful historic hidden gem. So much to discover in this small but beautifully kept home . The staff were passionate and very knowledgeable which made our visit entertaining and educational. The rooms are full of artifacts and you can even dress up in period costumes for photos and lots of beautiful views from inside and in the extensive gardens . Free parking which was well marshalled too .
Cockington Village, I got to via the water meadows walk. Beautiful. Bus stop livermead hotel walk up Cockington Lane. At the bus stop for no 62, from Torquay, there's a gate to walking the meadows. Dog walking friendly and loved the village. Visitor centre was not open no notice saying why.
It's hard to believe but just a few minutes walk from the centre there is a village where time stopped. Many of the cottages dating back to the 16th Century. Cockington Country Park it's a 450 acres of garden landscapes, open parkland, rural countryside and large woodland with three pretty lakes an historic Manor House with craft centre and studios and a quaint 11th Century church. Park has five walking routes that vary in distance. The whole estate and surrounding area is dog friendly. Dog friendly is also ice cream parlour located in a historic and beautifully restored mill.
WOW what a beautiful little village. We have visited here a couple of times over years and I would definitely recommend visiting at least once. Beautiful grounds to walk around, beautiful surroundings, stunning thatched houses/cottages. Plenty of walks and plenty to see and places to eat and drink. Pay and display carpark and a tourist information centre and lots of local/private businesses from glass blowing, metal/fabrication making to fancy lights/light bulbs, art shops, pet shop etc. Gardens to walk round and a big beautiful pub which was fantastic with friendly staff and tasty food. A small village but so much to do and see. Definitely recommend
Visited here today. Although it was tipping it down with rain it was so very beautiful, lovely tea room and quirky gift shops, brought some unique pieces of art work.
