Three Cornered Plantation is a picturesque woodland located in Devon, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, this enchanting forest is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and outdoor lovers.

The plantation gets its name from its unique triangular shape, which is formed by three intersecting paths that run through the woodland.

Three Cornered Plantation is not only a natural treasure but also holds historical significance. It is believed to have been part of an ancient hunting ground, dating back to medieval times.
