Little Meadow Bell Tents

Hartland Abbey (five minutes’ drive), on the banks of the Abbey River, dates back to the 12th century and was turned into a mansion in the mid-1500s. Today, its architecture elegantly combines medieval, Georgian, Regency and Victorian elements, while its gardens are dotted with colourful wildflowers and laced with woodland paths. Kids getting restless? Take them to the Milky Way Adventure Park (10 minutes), where they can ride roller coasters, ride the dodgems and jump on huge bouncing pillows. From there, you can go to the North Devon Wake Park (15 minutes), for an inflatable adventure course on a lake and high-speed ringo rides. The landscape of the Hartland Devon Heritage Coast (15 minutes) includes granite cliffs covered with heather, dramatic formations like the Blackchurch Rock arch and small, sheltered beaches. Keep an eye out to sea during your walks, and you might spot dolphins and seals, plus puffins and kestrels flying overhead.
