Location

Around & About Maypool:
Situated on a no-through lane, Higher Greenway Barn is surrounded by countryside of rolling hills, little lanes and pathways ideal for a hike or gentle stroll. Just over the hill a mere 20 minutes walk away is the River Dart and Quay where you can hop on a ferry over to Dittisham to sample the delights of the renowned Ferry Boat Inn. Or wander down the laneway in front of the house to the river and a concrete pontoon where you can leave your car and launch your dinghy out onto the river. Higher Greenway Barn has right of way across the land down this lane to access the river or just keep walking and through the woods you’ll reach Kingswear village in less than an hour’s stroll with its ferries over to Dartmouth for a spot of shopping whenever the mood takes you.

This idyllic spot is both beautiful and convenient – especially for the sailing enthusiasts, with two marinas in Kingswear close by and a lifting hoist at Galmpton Creek.

The village of Galmpton, just over a mile away, offers a village shop and post office, a butchers, primary school and the highly rated Churston Ferrers Grammar school. There are also two pubs, a golf course and of course the famous Greenway Estate, the former home of Agatha Christie. The Boathouse was the scene of the crime in her novel Dead Man’s Folly.

Totnes Offers rail links across the country, including London Paddington. The A38 Devon Expressway provides quick links to Exeter and the rest of the county.
