Warcombe Campsite

Once you’ve eyed up the views from your pitch, it’s time to take a closer look. Start by donning your boots and heading out for a walk on one of trails in the surrounding South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Biking about is an equally fine idea; there’s e-bike hire nearby if you need it. The other top walking spot nearby is of course the South West Coast Path: any chunk is liable to present some stunning scenery, but for starters you might like to seek out the sections around South Milton Sands (15 minutes’ drive) and Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve (20 minutes). The beaches at Bantham and Bigbury-on-Sea (both about 20 minutes away) are worth a visit too, and of course you can’t come to these parts without dropping in to Salcombe (15 minutes) for watersports and seafood dinners. For a change of scenery, get an adrenaline fix on the rides at Woodlands Family Theme Park (15 minutes) or take a day trip to Plymouth (45 minutes) for the National Marine Aquarium, tours of the gin distillery and a stroll around Saltram Park.
