Forest Glade Holiday Park, Cullompton, Devon, England, UK

We have 2 new camping pods arriving soon on the park. Made in North Wales these timber tents are great if a customer wants to experience ‘glamping’ and should extend the camping season for us. We hope to have them ready for letting by early summer. GREAT THINGS TO DO WHILST HERE: Walk in the forest surrounding the park (walks maps are available free of charge from Reception) and I would explore the Blackdown Hills using the walking guide available in our tourist information room. Take the children – Crealy is great but so is The World of Country Life in Exmouth, and Escot – a great ‘natural’ day out for all the family. Visit the East Devon coast – the historic Regency town of Sidmouth is our nearest coastal resort, Topsham is an interesting town on the Exe and there are great sandy beaches at Exmouth. National Trust properties – Knightshayes, Killerton. The Willows and Wetlands Visitor Centre, Stoke St. Gregory.

The North Devon town of Barnstaple

Shop all you want in the premier North Devon town of Barnstaple with its excellent bars, high quality restaurants and big name, high street shopping. This isn’t all the town has to offer though; independent boutique shops and the Pannier Market with the produce of proud local food producers are what make the town special. Barnstaple is also a gateway to North Devon where visitors can explore the stunning coastline that has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Taw and Torridge Estuary, Braunton Burrows, Hartland Point and Woolacombe beach. There is also the option to walk the Tarka Trail, which is a pedestrian and cycle way that runs in a 180 mile figure-of-eight. The options are endless when you stay in Barnstaple.
