Shaugh Prior

Motorhome Stopovers in Shaugh Prior

Shaugh Prior is a small village on the southwestern edge of Dartmoor National Park in Devon, sitting above the Plym Valley where the River Plym and the River Meavy meet at Shaugh Bridge below. It lies a few miles northeast of Plymouth and is accessible from the A386 between Plymouth and Yelverton. The landscape here is on the transition between the high moor and the softer wooded valleys of the South Hams — a quiet part of Dartmoor that sees far fewer visitors than the central plateau.

For motorhomers, Shaugh Prior offers a genuinely tucked-away base close to Plymouth without being in the city. Motorhome Stopover Club members share verified stops in this corner of southwest Dartmoor — useful if you want moorland access without the exposure of the high plateau.
