Deep in the Dartmoor National Park, you'll find a back to basics base at Moretonhampstead Sports and Community Centre which is perfect for active types. It's surrounded by a host of outdoor adventures, but still close to a village with great pubs and tearooms for a pick-me-up after time in the open air. The centre itself even has tennis courts along with a gym, exercise classes and much more.
