Ostlers Glamping and Camping

The site is 15 minutes’ drive from Barnstaple, one of the UK’s oldest towns and home of the historic Pannier Market as well as a leisure centre and cinema for any rainy days. From there, you can join the long-distance hiking and cycling Tarka Trail, or walk sections of the South West Coast Path for dramatic sea and clifftop views. Exmoor National Park (15 minutes by car) makes an easy day trip for hiking across the moors, cycling through rocky landscapes on the Exmoor Cycle Route and spotting Exmoor ponies feeding on the heather. The kids might enjoy a day of playing zookeeper at Exmoor Zoological and Conservation Centre (15 minutes), or perhaps crossing the River Barle over an ancient clapper bridge at Tarr Steps (45 minutes). The site is within 35 minutes’ drive of consistent waves at Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay and Putsborough beach. All have board-hire shops for those who fancy a bit of surfing, and tuition is available for every level of ability.
