We are dog friendly.
With Dartmoor and Parke and right on our doorstep, it’s no wonder a lot of our visitors ask whether we allow dogs in our galleries… we’re happy to tell you we do! We’re a team of dog lovers and will be delighted to welcome your pooch onto the premises, including the cafe!
Parking.
There are 2 public pay & display car parks located within 1 minute walking distance from our Riverside Mill.
We recommend using the car park located on Le Molay-Littry Way (opposite the Doctors’ Surgery) as it has a footbridge that brings you out into the Coop car park, which then gives you access to our side entrance.
This saves you having to navigate a busy road (Station Road) as a pedestrian.
Please note:
The car park directly outside our Riverside Mill does not belong to us. It is a private car park that belongs to our neighbours, Bovey Tracey Coop - the spaces here are charged and meant for customers of The Coop.
