Home

A quintessential 17th Century Inn, located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, at the bottom of a steep valley next to Bow Creek and bridge. The Inn has been used as a smithy, a brew house, petrol station, a prison and a haunt for the feared press gangs. The area was recorded in the doomsday book.

Built in the 17th-century Waterman's Arms, overlooks tinkling Bow Creek, near Tuckenhay. Hidden away at the bottom of a steep valley, the streamside tables are perfect for savouring a pint of the fine Palmer's Copper Ale. The lunches, sourced from local suppliers and served under an outdoor awning, attract foodies from as far away as Exeter and Plymouth.

Directions

The map points to the centre of the postcode for The Watermans Arms and may not indicate the exact position of the property, you can zoom in or out and move the map around to get the best directions for your journey there.

By Car: Whether you choose to travel M4 or A303 you will eventually end up on the M5 so the directions are from there. The M5 finishes at junction 31, stay in right hand lane and follow the signs to Plymouth. The road becomes A38 (Devon Expressway). Stay on this road until you see the sign for Totnes, also Buckfastleigh and Butterfly Farm. At the end of the slip road turn left and Totnes is clearly signposted all the way. When you come into Totnes, at first traffic lights turn right, signposted Dartmouth, A381. Straight over the next lights and carry on up hill, about 3/4 mile you will see a sign to turn left for Ashprington, Bow Bridge and Tuckenhay and there is also a brown sign for The Waterman's Arms. Stay on the lane for about 2 and a half miles and you come to a crossroads follow the signs to Ashprington when you get to the memorial, which is a stone cross, turn right and keep on through village, always heading downhill.
Keep going downhill and we are over the bridge at the bottom.
