Keen walkers, dog owners and active families will love exploring the rugged expanses, granite tors and ancient wooded valleys of Dartmoor National Park, just a stone's throw from Ugborough. One of our favourite things to do while on holiday in Ugborough is pack a flask of hot chocolate and climb to the top of nearby Ugborough Beacon for spectacular panoramic views of the South Devon countryside, passing free roaming Dartmoor ponies on your way. If cycling is your thing, or you're looking for a more level, accessible walk, set off on the Puffing Billy track, which follows an old tramway line on the southern fringes of Dartmoor. You can hire bikes from Puffing Billy Cycles in Wrangaton, just two miles from Ugborough. Wrangaton Golf Club also sits on the southern slopes of Dartmoor, and makes for a unique round of golf thanks to its moorland holes and the occasional flock of wandering sheep.
After all that exercise, Ugborough's village inns are a welcome sight. The Anchor Inn and the Ship Inn are characterful, old pubs where you can enjoy real ales, delicious dinners and Sunday roasts.
