Nethercott House farm house and garden

Our original farm

Nethercott House sits overlooking the Dartmoor National Park in a stunning rural location. It is a grand but homely Victorian manor house with sweeping lawns that lead down to the serene River Torridge. It provides an oasis of peace and calm for our visiting farmers.

Birdwatching, biodiversity walks and beekeeping sessions are complemented by time enjoying woodland arts and crafts. Working with our partner farmers, the Ward family at Bridgetown, children and young people will travel via tractor trailer to take care of their cattle and sheep.

Nethercott House can host up to 39 children and five adults.
