Places to Visit
Hunger Hill Yurts are in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a landscape of wooded combs, vast areas of heath land, fertile river valleys and breathtaking ridges and hilltops. It is a living, working landscape shaped by many years of farming activity.
The local area forms the oldest part of the Jurassic Coast ,England's first World Heritage Site Accessible via the South Coast Path National Trail which offers walker's stunning views, with a bird's eye view of many coastal features. Hunger Hill Yurts are next to the Aylesbeare R.S.P.B bird sanctuary. The reserve is on an area of pebble heath land which is bursting with wild life. We are also on the route of the 'East Devon Way'. The East Devon Coastal Path offers numerous walks between the towns and villages along the coast. There are beautiful walks along the River Otter, up to Ottery St Mary and down to the sea at Budleigh Salterton. It’s wonderful walking country!
