Cycling on the Granite Way nr Okehampon


Children always love the beaches, but if the weathers bad you can use Cascades, the indoor adventure pool at Croyde, or go to one of the many tourist attractions such as the Milky Way Adventure Park near Bideford.

For "grown-up" visitors to South devon there are also top quality places to visit - Rosemoor Gardens, Arlington Court, Tapeley Park to name but a few.

Storm at Baggy Point nr Croyde

If you enjoy crafts watch the Dartington Crystal being blown. There is also a wealth of small craft outlets and twice a week, Exeter's famous Pannier Market also specialises in craft goods. 

However it may be that a gentle stroll around the harbour at Lynmouth or along the cobbled streets of Appledore is more your style. Wandering down the narrow streets of Clovelly is also very popular with holiday visitors, although walking back up is not always treated with such enthusiasm.

Marwood Hill gardens nr Barnstaple


For evening enjoyment there are some lovely country pubs and Exeter itself, a lively town with bars, nightclubs, a cinema, theatre and superbowl.

Exeter - a lovely city is also less than an hour away.

Spring, summer, autumn, winter - holiday or short break - make South devon your west country destination.
