Cockington Village

Just a mile or so from Torquay town centre is Cockington Village, a phenomenally picturesque rural oasis of thatched cottages, a working forge, and the Drum Inn which was designed by Sir Edward Lutyens and completed in 1930. From the village there’s a pleasant walk through the park to Cockington Court, now a Craft Centre and Gallery. Partly Tudor, this stately old manor was for almost three centuries the home of the Mallock family. In the 1930s they formed a trust to preserve “entire and unchanged the ancient amenities and character of the place, and in developing its surroundings to do nothing which may not rather enhance than diminish its attractiveness”. The Trust has been spectacularly successful in carrying out their wishes.
