Going Out
The Talbot Arms
 Uplyme's
village pub and probably the place you are most likely to
meet people and hear the village gossip.
All the usual village pub things happen at the Talbot
including darts, pool, pub cricket and of course, drinking real ale
watching sport.
Where to Eat - In Uplyme
There is currently only one place where you can eat out
in the village and that is the
Talbot Arms
(see above) where pub grub is available
most lunchtimes and evenings. Also a
generous carvery most Sunday lunchtimes.
Where to Eat Within 5 minute drive
Within a 5 minute drive there are a wide range of
Restaurants. The Victoria Hotel - easily the best
of the bunch - was sold in 2007 for redevelopment.

Places to see - Prescott
Pinetum
Prescott Pinetum, (also known as The Pinetum, Uplyme Pinetum
and Woodhouse Pinetum), sits on a north east facing slope,
and as such is clearly visible from Uplyme, and the B3165
(Lyme Road) across the valley, as well as to the houses in
Woodhouse Fields immediately to the east of the wood.
Despite its name, the majority of the wood is oak woodland,
with the Pinetum area restricted to the lower slopes in the
central portion of the wood.
Exotic Conifer and broadleaved
species have previously featured in the Tree Register of the
British Isles, with some listed as 'Champion' trees for
their size -
