In memory of Diana Wynne, who lived here, and loved this place, for two decades until June 2007.
When Diana moved here, the farmhouse, empty for years, had fallen into a sad state of disrepair. Diana’s energy and determination, her hard work and the inspired improvements she oversaw have subsequently transformed Headland Warren from dilapidation into the warm and welcoming place it is today.
Diana’s presence filled the house and farm with her spirit of determination and grit in the face of many obstacles. Headland Warren stands today as a tribute to all those years of dedication by Diana to her spiritual home.
She will always be here.

Headland Warren Farm is one of the few remaining Devon longhouses and is around 600 years old, dating back to the 13th century. Today, the farm's buildings consist of the original farmhouse, a converted barn, an attached cottage, and stables.

Nearby, at Fernworthy, excellent trout fishing is available, and within ten minutes' walk are Grimspound - the most impressive remains of a Bronze Age settlement on Dartmoor - and Hookney and Hameldown Tors.
Headland Warren stands in the middle of the Two Moors Way, and makes an ideal stopping point en route. What's more, a splendid yet easy 30-minute moorland walk will take you to the famous Warren House Inn, one of the highest and most remote pubs in England!
Situated in its own 600 acres of particularly beautiful and remote National Park moorland, Headland Warren is the ideal base for walking, riding, 'letterboxing", bird-watching - or just relaxing in the pure Dartmoor air!
