This wonderful restaurant is a great meal out for family or groups. It is set in a farm situation where you can do a audio guide farm walk by Guy Watson. Amazing food, especially the vegetables and puddings to die for.

Parks & Nature

We are very fortunate to be only a short drive from areas of natural beauty, be it The River Dart, Dartmoor, The South West Coast path with its pretty coves and beaches, and Slapton Ley a Nature Reserve. If you are someone who enjoys the outdoors, walks, birdwatching, sea swimming, there is something for everyone within a few miles of Fingals.
Fabulous walks along the coast - either on cliffs or beaches. Favourites beaches are Mattiscombe, near Start Point Light House and Slapton beach.

Slapton Ley is the largest natural lake in south-west England. Although it is only separated from the sea by a narrow shingle bar, it is entirely freshwater. The lake is surrounded by reedbeds, marshes and woodland habitats. Follow a trail, join a FREE event or stay for a course at the Field Centre. It is a fantastic place to go for bird watching and then walk up to Slapton and have a drink at The Tower Inn.

Take in the pretty seaside harbour of Salcombe with plenty of interesting places to eat and drink. Overbecks house and gardens is at the start of the South West Coastal path which goes to Bolt Head and beyond. If it a hot sunny day take a dip in the sea at South Sands beach. A good day something for all - walking, swimming, shopping and sight seeing.
