Living on Deer Park

Deer Park is a fully residential home park with 45 homes, in a peaceful setting with sea views to one side and farm fields to the other. The park is fully developed with tarred roads and street-lighting that is lit throughout the night. Many homes have on-plot parking and there is a further parking area for extra cars and guests. Although a new addition to our portfolio, we are immediately struck by the friendliness of the Residents and the community spirit found on the park.

Deer Park is for the retired or those approaching retirement and is a member of the British Holiday and Home Parks Association, which means that all residents have security of tenure in accordance with the 1983 Mobile Homes Act.

About Dartmouth

Dartmouth, carved into the banks of the beautiful River Dart, has narrow streets, long flights of steps, overhanging medieval houses and old quays. The streets are full of galleries, restaurants and shops selling crafts, gifts and antiques, and the views over the estuary are breathtaking.

The Embankment provides visitors with a pleasant and relaxing promenade to stroll down - admiring the sights of the busy estuary or to select from the many boat trips that depart from the waters edge.

Notice the carvings on the 17th century Butterwalk in Duke Street and be sure to walk the cobbled pavements of Bayards Cove, which looks much the same now as it did in the 16th century.

Blackpool Sands is a lovely beach in Start Bay about three miles from Dartmouth, between the villages of Stoke Fleming and Strete.
