Minnows Touring Park

A small and intimate park beside the Grand Western Canal
Ideal for walking, cycling, fishing, canoeing or touring
Village only 10 minutes walk with public house

Experience the rural charm of Mid Devon and the tranquil beauty of the Grand Western Canal, one of Devon’s secret gems. Whether you like fishing, walking, bird watching, cycling or canoeing you will be able to enjoy all of these from Minnows Touring Park, the only touring caravan park alongside the Grand Western Canal in Devon. Should you choose to venture out with your car, a short drive will find you on Exmoor or in the Blackdown Hills, in the historic city of Exeter and port of Topsham, the market towns of Tiverton and Honiton or National Trust houses and gardens such as Knighthayes Court and Killerton House. Try a peaceful trip on the canal on the Horsedrawn Barge, winner of the 2011 BBC Countryfile photographic competition or visit the working wool museum at Coldharbour Mill with its steam driven looms. There is so much to do and see from Minnows. Even the beaches of North and South Devon are less than an hour away, and at the end of the day stroll along the towpath to one of the pubs in the village for a meal and local ale. The amenities on site are kept to spotless standards and include free hot showers, a laundry room, a washing-up areas and plenty of bins with recycling. The information centre is full with local information, books and DVD's
