The Miniature Pony Centre was a farm tourist attraction based in the Dartmoor National Park, near Moretonhampstead. In 2023, it permanently closed as a result of the cost of living crisis in the UK. Originally, the land was owned by W.H. Smith of the retail chain. He was the first Lord Hambleden, and also owned Bovey Castle, formerly the Manor House. The Miniature Pony Centre first opened to the public in 1986, when it was founded by Tony and Jane Dennis. The Dennises brought various breeds of equines to Dartmoor along with other farmyard animals. They founded the Kerswell stud in 1970 and they continued to breed their pedigree line of Kerswell ponies. The Miniature Shetland Ponies were bred at The Miniature Pony Centre under the Keensacre and Bottriell stud names. The Miniature Shetland Pony is a very small Shetland pony. Ponies under 34 inches in height are classed as Miniature Shetland, whilst 34 to 42 inches (8.2 to 10.2 hands) is called a standard Shetland. The centre also bred Miniature Horses and Miniature Mediterranean donkeys. In 2020, the centre also welcomed its first pair of Miniature Pigs. The centre was one of the original family farm attractions on Dartmoor National Park. In 2003, the centre was sold to new owners.

Castle Drogo is a country house and mixed-revivalist castle near Drewsteignton, Devon, England. Constructed between 1911 and 1930, it was the last castle to be built in England. The client was Julius Drewe, the hugely successful founder of the Home and Colonial Stores. Drewe chose the site in the belief that it formed part of the lands of his supposed medieval ancestor, Drogo de Teigne. The architect he chose to realise his dream was Edwin Lutyens, then at the height of his career. Lutyens lamented Drewe's determination to have a castle but nevertheless produced one of his finest buildings. The architectural critic, Christopher Hussey, described the result: "The ultimate justification of Drogo is that it does not pretend to be a castle. It is a castle, as a castle is built, of granite, on a mountain, in the twentieth century". The castle was given to the National Trust in 1974, the first building constructed in the twentieth century that the Trust acquired. The castle is a Grade I listed building. The gardens are Grade II* listed on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

Located within Dartmoor National Park, the parish is surrounded clockwise from the north by the parishes of Throwleigh, Chagford and Dartmoor Forest. In 2001 its population was 116, little changed from 114 in 1901. Historically the parish consisted of a number of farmsteads and associated cottages scattered around the focal point of Holy Trinity church (late C15-early C16, with some C17 windows and C19 additions) and the adjacent Gidleigh Castle, which is now in private hands. The population peaked at 180 in the mid 19th century. The 20th century saw the development of some substantial gentleman's residences - notably Gidleigh Park, which subsequently became a country house hotel - and the building of a village hall. Gidleigh lies on the Mariners' Way and there was a YHA Youth Hostel in the village from 1932 to 1988. A Methodist elementary school established in 1877 at Providence in Throwleigh parish, little more than a mile from Gidleigh, provided what became the Throwleigh and Gidleigh County Primary School, which closed in 1971 when the pupils were transferred to Chagford.
