Fancy a grassy getaway in North Devon? Canvas and Coast at Combas Farm is half a mile outside Croyde, where guests can stock up at the local stores or get an eyeful of the thatched roofs and pastel-coloured cottages. (The route down to the village can be muddy at times, though, so guests are advised to bring a trusty pair of wellies.) If nippers aren't keen on the walk, perhaps the promise of a treat from the village ice-cream parlour, which makes lavish use of clotted cream, might just pique their interest?
Croyde’s splendid sands also draw surfing folk from far and wide (though the sheltered waters of Croyde Bay are suitable for less gnarly beachgoers as well). Guests will likely appreciate Combas Farm’s sea views: Lundy Island can be glimpsed, as can the far-flung shores of Wales on clear days. Inspired by these coastal vistas? Croyde is located directly on the South West Coast Path, making this a great base for longer treks too.
Camp cooks are well catered for over here: barbecues are allowed (off the ground to keep the grass scorch-free) and there’s a dedicated dishwashing area too. High-pressure showers are on hand to help keep your pitch a sand-free zone; spick and span toilets (which also have plugs for device charging) are located in a converted barn close by.

Local attractions
The three nearest beaches are Putsborough Sands, Croyde Bay and Saunton Sands (all three within 10 minutes' drive). Surf gear can be hired locally, but if you’re not a dab hand, fear not: several surf schools offer both private and group lessons to get you riding the waves. Rather get active on dry land? Tee off at the local golf course (10 minutes’ drive).
Other North Devon coastal spots within easy reach include Ilfracombe (25 minutes): folk with an eye for Victorian charm should head for the historic Tunnel Beaches while undersea explorers might prefer to swing by the local aquarium.
Budding palaeontologists young and old should head for Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (half an hour), where animatronic beasts and real-life critters are displayed side by side. Dinosaurs not for you? Make a ewe turn and head for rides, playgrounds and hilarious sheep races (plus a brewery and gin distillery for the elders) at The Big Sheep theme park (35 minutes).
