Local Attractions

Trago Mills

Just a 20min drive from Moorhayes is Trago Mills - a family shopping and leisure park. As well as being a gigantic discount retailer and garden centre, Trago Mills is home to a leisure park featuring go-karts, steam trains and water rides.

Paignton Zoo

Paignton Zoo is a 45min drive from Moorhayes and is definitely worth a visit. With over 2,000 animals, including Elephants, Lions, Rhinos, Tigers and Cheetahs, the zoo makes for a great day trip.
We do recommend you take a packed lunch as the food is quite pricey, with long queues at peak times. Postcode: TQ4 7EU

Rugglestone Inn

Whilst technically not ‘attraction’, we must include the lovely Rugglestone Inn - a beautiful Grade II listed cottage that was converted into an inn back in 1832. Superb food and local ales make this one of our favourites, especially when only a 15min drive from Moorhayes. Postcode: TQ13 7TF
