ABOUT LUSTLEIGH Lustleigh is one of Dartmoor's most enchanting villages, with its picturesque green, thatched cottages, historic church and timeless rural atmosphere. Surrounded by beautiful wooded countryside, it offers the sort of village setting that visitors travel to Devon to discover.

The village is home to a traditional pub, tea rooms and village shop, while a network of footpaths leads through the Wray Valley and into the surrounding Dartmoor landscape. Its welcoming community, seasonal celebrations and historic character contribute to its enduring appeal.

A LITTLE HOLLYWOOD MAGIC In October 2025, Lustleigh welcomed the production team behind HBO's new Harry Potter television series, with the village used for filming scenes associated with the fictional village of Godric's Hollow. The production brought an unexpected touch of Hollywood to this peaceful corner of Dartmoor, adding another chapter to Lustleigh's already colourful history.

With the village green immediately outside Two Pound Cottages, the property occupies a truly special position from which to enjoy everything this captivating Dartmoor village has to offer.
