  • Luxury lodges in a landscaped park five miles from Honiton
  • Half an hour's drive from Lyme Regis and the south coast beaches
  • In the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for walks
Located in the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and within easy reach of the Quantock Hills AONB, Exmoor National Park and the paths of the Jurassic coast… it’s safe to say that Blossom Hill Park has thing well sorted for those folk who like a hike (or those who favour leisurely strolls with scenic views). It’s not just the walkers that are well served around here, though – several courses nearby cater for the golfers, fishing lakes are easily accessed for the anglers and a multitude of excellent pubs, restaurants and a vineyard are nearby for the gourmets. Throw in some fab beaches, a clutch of animal attractions and some historic houses, gardens and estate visits and you’ve got something to please pretty much all tastes (and for days/weeks on end, in many cases). And this peaceful landscaped park, five miles from Honiton, has things even more sorted for those who like to follow up their hike/golf game/beach day by trotting back to their lodge for a shower in a luxury bathroom, a freshly brewed cup of coffee on the sofa and a barbecue evening out on their private deck – all topped off with a night of slumbers in a proper comfy bed (bliss).

Local attractions

There are many options nearby for those who fancy stretching their legs on a hike: the park is in the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with lots of walks easily accessed (including several that take in a refreshing pub pitstop – hurrah). A little further afield, heaps more trails await in Exmoor National Park and the Quantock Hills – both are around 45 minutes’ drive away. If you’d like to see the area from above, sign up for a gliding lesson or skydive from Dunkeswell Aerodrome, five minutes’ drive away. There’s a golf course and a fishing lake around 15 minutes’ drive away for those who’d prefer to keep their feet firmly on the ground. For a breath of sea air, it’ll take you about half an hour to drive to the coast. Head to Charmouth beach for swimming, Cobb beach for watersports or Lyme Regis for harbour strolls and fishing trips. Fancy washing down your catch with a local vino? Head to Yearlstone Vineyard, a 40-minute drive from the site. Among the other day trips within a half-hour drive or so are Axe Valley Wildlife Park, the Donkey Sanctuary and the gorgeous Bicton Park Botanical Gardens.
