The High Heathercombe Center, adjoining the open moor and surrounding woodlands, is run on charitable basis by the High Hethercombe Trust, offering a wide range of people access to experience the beautiful Dartmoor Landscape.

Gardens 

The woodland and cottage gardens extend over 30 acres and include hundreds of well-labelled specimen trees and shrubs, including 100 varieties of rhododendron, and over 1½ miles of woodland walks and paths. In recent years the gardens have been extended and now include the cottage garden, orchard and wild flower meadow.
