HOW TO GET THERE Leave the A384 just north of Dartington, signposted Staverton. Cross the bridge over the Dart at the bottom of the hill and bear right after crossing the railway line. Continue into the village, and by the Sea Trout Inn bear right and immediately left into Moor Road where no 8 is towards the end and on the right. STAVERTON Staverton lies on the northern edge of the South Hams in the beautiful rural triangle between Totnes, Ashburton and Newton Abbot. The name Staverton or Stouretona means 'the village of stoney ford'. The ford, an ancient crossing many centuries old provided a route from the village to Dartington. In 1413 the very elegant Staverton Bridge was built. The village has a parish church, the well-known Sea Trout Inn, a primary school, St Christopher's Nursey and Preparatory School and playing fields with tennis courts.

Close by are Dartington Hall, which has worldwide renown as a centre of excellence for music and the performing arts, and the acclaimed Riverford Field Kitchen restaurant.
