Stoke Gabriel is a popular and sought after village which lies in an area of outstanding natural beauty at the head of a creek on the River Dart about three miles south-east of Totnes. The older part of the village is in a conservation area near the River and Mill Pool and much of the area is a Coastal Preservation Area. The village has a Parish Church, a primary school, and excellent village shop. There is a thriving local community in Stoke Gabriel which also has an annual Carnival and Regatta. It is just 2 miles to the nearest supermarket on the outskirts of Paignton and about 4 miles to both Totnes and Torbay which provide a first class selection of shops, schools and cultural amenities, including music and drama at Dartington. Stoke Gabriel has a toddler group, pre-school and a very successful primary school. Secondary schooling in the area is excellent; South Devon College is recognised by Ofsted as 'Outstanding' and one of the top Further Education and Tertiary Colleges in England. There are easy links to Exeter's fine selection of state and independent schools with a school bus collection from Newton Abbot. The village has a well-regarded primary school. There are also the very sought after boys and girls Grammar Schools in Torquay and Churston.
Communications are good and regular intercity rail services run from Totnes to London (Paddington – 3 hours). The A38 Devon Expressway, about 10 miles to the north, provides dual carriageway access to the M5 motorway at Exeter and there are regular flights to London and other UK and international destinations Exeter airports.
The River Dart is, of course, well known as a wonderful centre for yachting and dinghy sailing. There are endless opportunities for exploring the river and its mouth at Dartmouth about 5 miles away right up to Totnes and there are deep water and drying moorings in the river almost in front of the house. For cruising yachts Dartmouth is a wonderful base, with Torbay and the Solent to the east, Plymouth, Fowey, Falmouth and the Helford River to the west and the Channel Islands and France to the South. Other sporting amenities in the area include good golf courses at Churston and Dartmouth. Dartmoor National Park just 10 miles to the north provides endless opportunities for riding, walking and fishing and there are a number of good shoots in the area.
