Reasons for trip

Turn off the A38 at Drum Bridges roundabout; head for Bovey Tracey. At next roundabout turn left and it's just on the right. One can spend a happy morning here enjoying a huge shopping experience with lots of interesting gift ideas on 2 floors, but also there's a really fascinating pottery museum and beyond all the beautiful glass items for sale in a special area there's a museum of marbles with some wonderful exhibits. Not only that, but also you can go beyond and watch the glass blowers at work from a gallery. There's also a pleasant cafe. Well worth a visit for the variety. It was a good place to buy seconds of glassware too. Bovey itself has great walks at the edge of Dartmoor.
