Paddlers Welcome...
We are open again to paddlers for the season
From Saturday 1st of October 2011 to 14th March 2012 the River Dart Country Park and Holne Park House will open to paddlers at weekends for the season.
Access to the Park for non-residents during the winter season is available and vehicles can park at our fee paying car park, fees apply to all vehicles at all times. Paddlers who are residents to the Park will be issued with a car pass to enable them to drive in and out of the Park to run shuttles to/from Newbridge - Dartmeet - Buckfastleigh. Kayakers will also have use of the toilet facilities and communal hot showers in our 'boot room' on Saturdays and Sundays. 'The Old Sawmill' will be open at weekends and will offer a Sunday Carvery lunch from 12.30 to 4pm - adults £7.95, children £4.95 (under 8 years). If you purchase a Sunday Carvery ticket at the main gate then your car pass will be included in the price for the driver only.
Accommodation will be available including a special weekend promotion - please see accommodation for details.
Paddlers not wishing to use the facilities at the Park will need to egress at Buckfastleigh as the egress at Holne Bridge will be closed at weekends.
Christmas Closure
The park will be closed from Tuesday 20th December and will open again on Tuesday 3rd January 2012. The egress point at Waterworks Bridge will be closed, so please egress at Holne Bridge - without blocking our back drive!
