Acorn Farm Touring Park

Acorn Farm Touring Park is well placed to get to many of Devon's main attractions and towns, and is within easy access of the coast at Saunton Sands and Westward Ho! Walking, cycling and horse riding can be had at both Dartmoor and Exmoor national parks; a golf course is five miles away and fishing is available nearby at Stafford Moor. Feeling adventurous? Make your way to the local airfield for a microlight lesson. The Tarka Trail, following the route of the otter in Henry Williamson's book, passes Dolton in an 180-mile figure of eight of walkways and cycle paths. His cottage (Williamson not otter) is at the small village of Georgham and has been kept as it was in Williamson's lifetime. For town days, the market towns of Bideford and Barnstaple are a short drive away: Bideford for several interesting shops and the ferry to Lundy Island, and Barnstaple for colourful flowers and its indoor market selling local pottery, pictures and food on different days (the Acorn Farm team recommends the fudge from the shop in the corner by the main entrance). Exeter is also very much worth a look, around its shops, cathedral and ancient buildings, and Plymouth for Plymouth Hoe and its aquarium before a bite and a drink at the Barbican.
