The Big Hoot Caravan

Memorable moments on this caravan break might involve castles, historical houses and museums like Tiverton Castle (10 minutes’ drive), Bickleigh Castle (20 minutes) Knightshayes Gardens National Trust (15 minutes) and the 1778 house Killerton (20 minutes)… It might be all about the action, things like rides on a real digger at Diggerland Devon (10 minutes) or tackling the Tarka Trail from Appledore (an hour and 10 minutes). The Bear Trail (10 minutes) is no typical hiking trail either; it’s an obstacle course. Clifftop walks from Branscombe beach (50 minutes), Sidmouth (45 minutes) or Seaton (50 minutes) and the Topsham estuary walk to Exmouth (half an hour) will challenge you some more. If the local beaches haven’t already lured you in, continue onto the north coast beaches like Saunton Sands, Croyde, and Lynton and Lynmouth (between an hour and 10 minutes and an hour and 20 minutes). It might be that you’re here for historic spots like Bickleigh Mill (15 minutes), Hembury Fort (half an hour) or Buckfast Abbey (45 minutes). Or you may be after a little culture, like the music and theatre performances at The Corn Barn (35 minutes’ walk).
