Things to do
in Defford

Defford is a small village where the appeal lies in the scale of things. Within about two miles you'll find places to eat and drink, places to stay, shops and activities — enough to fill a day without ever feeling that you're queueing for it. This is countryside for people who like a slow start, a walk down a lane, and a proper lunch at the end of it. If you're staying nearby, it works well as a quiet base: close enough to the wider area to explore, far enough from the main routes that evenings stay peaceful.

A good few hours might begin at the Cider House, then take you on to Spring Cottage Flowers if you want something to bring home. Come lunchtime you've a genuine choice, with the Defford Arms and The Oak Inn both within easy reach, and The Flybridge worth the short trip if you fancy a change of setting. Book a Holiday Let and you can stretch the day out properly, walking off the afternoon and heading back to whichever pub you liked best.
