Once an RAF airfield, Harrowbeer is now open heathland with pockets of pretty woodland. The West Devon Way and Drake's Trail long-distance paths both cross Harrowbeer and you'll likely seen ponies grazing freely.

Harrowbeer sits on the edge of Yelverton and has plenty of car parks around it. The town itself has a bakery and small shops and is a good base for walks in the area.
