The Figgery is that special place you need a break away to. Its location a beautiful spot at the top of a long driveway, is special. We went with our dog and the space was ample. Cream tea on arrival.More food shopping can be done in Ivybridge or the outskirts of Plymouth. You can venture NSEW and find something amazing to do. Hope to be back at some point.
