General
- Scenic and dog-friendly site in Dartmoor National Park
- Haven for hikers and bikers, 20 minutes from Exeter city centre
- On-site shop, games room and secure off-lead dog area
Escape from messy desks, busy inboxes and fume-filled commutes with a peaceful fresh-air stay at Barley Meadow Touring Park, a family- and dog-friendly site under five minutes’ drive from the Exeter village of Crockernwell.
As it's in Dartmoor National Park, this is a top spot for hikers and bikers with a yen for exploring far-off places: the 117-mile Two Moors Way (which stretches from Ivybridge to Lynmouth) passes 10 minutes’ walk from the site, and National Cycle Route 27 and the Granite Way walking trail can be joined 15 minutes’ drive away in Okehampton.
There’s plenty more to investigate around splendid Dartmoor, but of course... but not before kicking back for a bit on site.... Stock up on snacks in the on-site shop (open subject to demand) while letting canine chums run off-leash in the dog area, or pass some time in the small games room before getting back to scenic wanders – this time along country lanes to the thatched haven of Drewsteignton village.
All sound a bit too rural? Never fear, as the site’s central and easy to reach: it’s just off the A30, and there’s a bus stop right outside the site entrance for trips to Exeter and Bude.
Please note that although the site welcomes children, it doesn't have a playground or dedicated area for any kind of ball games, apart from those that can be safely contained within your own pitch.

Local attractions
Devoting a few days to rambling explores of Dartmoor National Park is a must hereabouts, with plenty of stunningly scenic spots to include in itineraries. Start with the nearby Teign Valley and the can’t-miss Lydford Gorge (the deepest gorge in south-west England) – don’t forget a camera to snap some shots of the spectacular White Lady waterfall and the Devil’s Cauldron whirlpool.
There are more ways to explore Dartmoor National Park than on foot or by bike too: adrenaline junkies can try out whitewater kayaking or canoeing along the River Dart, or head into Okehampton to sign up for scrambling through gorges.
History buffs are well served around these parts too: jaunts into Exeter come with possible pitstops at the city’s famed cathedral, medieval guildhall and Tudor-built House that Moved (that one deserves a quick internet search), while rural travels lead to stately manors including Powderham Castle, Castle Drogo, Killerton House, and Buckland and Buckfast abbeys, all within an hour's drive.
Poke around England’s last working water-powered forge at Finch Foundry and visit the Museum of Dartmoor Life near Okehampton, or step back into the present day with some kid-friendly fun at Crealy Adventure Park or Diggerland Devon, both around half an hour from the site.
