Prehistoric remains abound on the moor and evidence of bronze age man can be easily found.

Colehayes is in easy reach of Devon’s south coast with its varying geological features. The Teign Estuary and beaches of Torbay are close by and within walking distance are the Yarner nature reserve, Becky Falls and Haytor Rocks. From the rocks one can enjoy a vast panorama of beauty to the centre of Dartmoor around to the Coast of Torbay.
One of the main attractions of Colehayes is a water based trail, along a tributary of the River Bovey. It was originally laid out in the style of Victorian picturesque in 1825 and covers 11 acres of spectular dams and waterfalls.
