We run our farm for you to enjoy and as a safe haven for Devon's wonderful wildlife. A third of the farm is a site of special scientific interest (SSSI). This national designation marks Popehouse Moor out as amongst the best sites for culm grassland wildlife in Devon. When you holiday at our lodges and cottage the whole farm is yours to explore and relax in. And we can almost always make time to give you a guided tour of the nature reserve. Thank you for holidaying with us - your stay makes our wildlife conservation possible.
This blog is about our wildlife management as we strive to make the farm even better for our dormice, badgers, foxes, owls, orchids....
We're proud to have gold level approval from both the Devon Wildlife Trust and the Green Tourism Businesss Scheme
