Nun’s Cross Farm is a historic landmark on Dartmoor, located near the ancient Nun’s or Siward’s Cross, which is the oldest recorded stone cross on the moor. The farm was built in 1870 by John Hooper, who leased the land from the Duchy of Cornwall, and raised a family there until his death in 1939.

The farm is now used as a bunkhouse and base for outdoor activities, such as hiking, cycling, and exploring the nearby prehistoric sites3. You can hire the farm for private use, or follow the Abbot’s Way, a monastic route that passes by the farm and connects Buckfast Abbey and Tavistock Abbey2 . Nun’s Cross Farm is a great place to experience the beauty and history of Dartmoor. 🌿
