Dippers and Daffs – ornathologists and horticulturists alike

Filed Under (Dartmoor Bed and Breakfast) by Ian Corner on 06-03-2011

It’s wonderful to note that guests are booking in to come and see both the ‘Dippers’ flying about and hunting on the River Teign with their distinct gizz and bob as they watch and wait for their next meal to float/swim/crawl past ……………..and others who’ve planned a variety of  walks along the river bank to see the marvel of Daffs, a short stemmed local variety with a charm of their own.

Spring Daffs on the

Edge of Dunsford’s famous stepping Stones across the River Teign

Ian’s favourite Fergie T20 Tractor used for Cider Pressing and other essential jobs around the place!!!

Spring flowers are starting to burst into colour and Easter B&B bookings and beyond are also starting to show promise too.
