The Sector also has two popular honeypots, Newbridge and Dartmeet (where the East and West Dart Rivers meet). On a summer’s day it can be very busy. The area around Venford Reservoir also attracts many visitors, and great views of the Dart valley can be seen from Combestone or Sharp Tor. The National Trust woodland at Hembury hill fort is a picture in spring when the daffodils, and later, the bluebells, are in flower.
