Hi, we don't actually allow dogs in the core gardens themselves (ie the central area behind the Hall). However we absolutely want dog walkers to be able to enjoy Dartington so there are three allocated fields where dogs can be 'off lead' at any time of the year - the largest of these being close to the main car park, opposite Space Studios. The rest of the estate also has loads of dog friendly paths although at some times of the year we do ask that dogs are kept under control in areas where we run conservation programmes, have ground nesting birds or have livestock who are at risk of the spread of disease. You can download a leaflet with all relevant info on our website - search for 'conservation'.
What is the distance between the train station in Totnes and Darlington Hall and what is the best way to get from the train to Dartington Hall, having come from Heathrow Airport in London?

This is taken from the Dartington Hall website: The nearest rail station is at Totnes (on the main London Paddington – Penzance line), approximately 1½ miles from Dartington Hall (approx. 35 min walk/10 min taxi ride). There is a level footpath to Dartington Hall directly from the station which travels alongside the River Dart for ¾ mile and meets with the Dartington Hall drive. Turn right here and walk the remaining ¾ mile along the drive. (NB the drive portion of the walk is uphill and may be tiring if pushing wheelchairs or buggies or carrying children.) There is a taxi rank at Totnes Station. Bus Bus number 165 serves Dartington Hall from Buckfastleigh and Totnes. Bus number X80 serves Dartington village and The Shops at Dartington. For timetables and information please call traveline on 0870 608 2 608. There are coaches from London (Victoria Coach Station) and other major cities which go to Newton Abbot Railway Station. You can then connect with a train to Totnes. Some coaches go direct to Royal Seven Stars at Totnes. Car From Exeter the M5 becomes the A38. The road then divides, left to Torbay or straight on to Plymouth. Take the Plymouth (A38) road. After passing the two slip roads to Ashburton take the next exit, signed to Totnes, Dartmouth and Kingsbridge. Turn left onto the A384 and follow signs to Totnes. After approximately 4 miles, you will enter the village of Dartington. Shortly after the village sign, turn left at Dartington Church and follow this road for 1 mile. The main car park is on the left. The entrance to the courtyard is directly opposite the main car park.
