Exeter Racecourse Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite

There’s much to see and do in Exeter (15 minutes’ drive), from touring the stunning Gothic-era cathedral and its soaring stone-vaulted ceiling to discovering the extraordinary collections of fossils, Roman mosaics and landscape paintings in the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery. Culture dealt with, head for the historic waterside quays for a pint in a traditional pub or supper in a seafood restaurant. To immerse yourself in dramatic moorland scenery, take a scenic stroll up Haytor (20 minutes) in Dartmoor National Park, or visit Canonteign Falls (15 minutes) to admire the highest waterfall in England, stroll through a Victorian fern garden and refuel on cream teas in the café. Restless kids can run riot in Haldon Forest Park (five minutes) on an array of walking, cycling and mountain-biking trails, plus the Go Ape Haldon attraction with treetop rope courses. Older kids will doubtless also enjoy quad biking along muddy forest tracks at Ashcombe Quads, or testing their skills with a bow and arrow at Ashcombe Valley Archers (both 10 minutes).
