Home of the highwayman
The Highwayman Inn is like the Tardis. Step in through the old stage coach and enjoy a very surreal experience!
Quoted as being ‘the most unusual pub in Britain,’ The Highwayman Inn sits surrounded by the luscious and mysterious countryside that is Dartmoor National Park.
An Aladdin’s cave of eclectic artifacts and curios, an interesting and celebrated clientele (including a resident ghost),
combine to make The Highwayman Inn truly something special.

History to the Name
The Highwayman Inn is family run inn and offers a unique drinking and eating experience for
local visitors and those from further afield.



“A mural on the outside of the pub shows customers why the pub has its name. The Highwayman Inn is named after the road bandits often found in England 250 years ago. They would often stop carriages and demand money and jewels were handed over”
