We have used the site many times with our touring van, but we thought we would try out one of their log cabins in Jan, we are gonna try and visit the Dartmoor Zoo, we watched a documentry about it a few weeks ago, its just re-opened under new management.

I am jealous. I spent two weeks in Modbury in the "summer". If I could afford to retire tomorrow, I'd be heading in that direction.

 :)Used to holiday in Modbury as a kid. My cousin Ann, sadly no longer with us owned
       The Cottage
          Back st.
             Modbury.
      A family with the surname Stubbings lived a couple of doors down, the father was a woodcarver & i used to play with their daughter Beth & another girl called Andrea (leave it out we were only 7 or 8) at the swings at the top of the lane. A local farmer used to herd the cows up & down the lane daily for milking, possibly still does! My cousin Ann ran a little shop in town with another lady called Maisie.
   We spent most days @ Slapton Sands beach which i believe had something to do with Normandy D Day invasion during WW2.
     Happily surprised so many of you know Modbury. This would've been 1972-76.

modbury is only about 15 miles from me, and if i look out of the living room window i get a cracking view of Dartmoor.

We take a lot of it for granted, it is on our doorstep, it isn't until i am working in some far flung lace that i get to realise how nice devon as a place is.

We moved down there 8 years ago now and don't think i would move away in a hurry

Moorview is just around the bend from there, on the left as you go towards Modbury, was you on the same site, i was there in August and there was one omega estate silver and one gold saloon on the same site.  :question :question
