Cracking site over looking the bay stunning views. Very well kept pitches. Shame no toilet and showers but no really a problem. Nice dog walking aera. Can get a bit windy as being high up. Very quiet. Lovley walks if your fit down to the beach you can drive about 5 mins walk 15 mins very steep coming back. Lovely cafe grass areas and beach lots of parking. Local shop and pub 10 mins walk. Only 10 mins drive to morrisons McDonald's and 15 to Plymouth shopping not a problem

Great views over Plymouth Sound with views out to sea, a short walk to the beach down the lane. Camp site nice and peaceful with very friendly campsite assistants. Very narrow road on the final mile so be cautious.

This is an excellent campsite. We had checked with the warden about arriving late due to ferry times and he was most helpful. On arrival it was dark and raining but the warden was there to welcome us and make sure that we were properly set up for the night. This is a lovely, immaculate site in beautiful rural surroundings with a friendly, helpful warden. We hope to return and spend longer here next time. Many thanks.

A little gem of a site, overlooking Plymouth Sound. Fantastic stop over for catching the ferry from Plymouth, very peaceful. If it had shower and toilet block it would be 5 stars. On the approach the lane for approximately 1 mile can be a little challenging if it's busy with traffic.

Fabulous views across the sound. Very friendly warden. Lovely big pitches and views from every one. EHU and MH service point easily accessible.

Great locationand views, well looked after site but very much on the basic side so you need to be self-sufficient.

Nice site with a lovely view. No toilet or shower facilities.

I suppose because I visited on a Thursday the place felt a bit deserted and top floor of the house was closed off... so overall I walked out feeling a little underwhelmed. There could be more benches to sit on, they could do something about the mouldy smell in the castle folly. Didn't see any activities for kids. The orangery was bare and empty. It was otherwise a lovely place, very pleasant for a short walk around the grounds. There's a little gate (locked) connecting the house grounds with a lovely riverside walk. I enjoyed the walk but you have to head back out to the car park to start the walk. Enjoyed my couple hours there but a little disappointed overall.

We had a wonderful visit here, it was very quiet so had lot's of time from all the amazing volunteers. The house has a lovely warm feeling with lots of tapestries on the walk. It's spread over 2 floors but the stairs are easy to walk up. The gardens are lovely with lots to see and some interesting features. The summer house is worth a visit. Lot's of parking which is free for members. The cafe serves delicious cakes amd hot drinks as well as light lunches.

Wow! I was very pleasantly surprised by our visit. Large car park, lovely sized cafe, second hand book shop with hidden treasures, fabulous gift shop with some cheap tiny gifts for kids available (so they get a treat without breaking a bank), stunning views and of course the house! I dont think ive visited another house with so many gorgeous paintings and portraits, even my 5 year old was interested! Lovely volunteers answering questions and providing information. Decent sized outdoors for lovely Autumn walk, and lovely little tea room for a cake and tea after the walk. We will be visiting again very soon!

Brilliant house in superb grounds can see for miles every room.had it's own story and the volunteers were happy to tell you all about also lovely cafe you could sit by the lake would thoroughly recommend

Very nice national trust property. Really interesting main house full of original family items, steeped in history. Nice gardens and walks, several cafe options with a wife variety of food and drink.

A beautiful building, filled with art, ornate ceilings and interesting artefacts. Around the house are flower beds, an orangerie, but the estate has extensive grounds to walk - pack a picnic and you could easily spend a whole day here!

Lovely walk as normal. Soo lucky to have this beautiful place on my doorstep. I must have walked round here thousands of times and each time feels and looks different. What a treat to see the woodpecker, normally can only hear it. It's beautiful all year round. Plenty of parking, toilets till 4pm. 😍🌳🪾🐦‍⬛🦜🦆🦉

Exploring the Beauty of Plymbridge Woods : A Perfect Outdoor Escape🌿 Just a 20-minute drive from Plymouth, Plymbridge Woods is a stunning woodland escape perfect for outdoor lovers. Managed by the National Trust, this area offers scenic walking trails, cycling routes, hiking and spotting wildlife. Whether you're exploring the woodland paths, enjoying a refreshing paddle in the shallow river, or dog walking, this spot provides a tranquil escape for nature enthusiasts. Excellent destination for a weekend family outing. My children loved stone skimming across the water and spotting local wildlife. With free parking available on-site (at your own risk), Plymbridge Woods is a place we’ll definitely be returning to, especially in summer☀️. Don’t forget your picnic, no food options available, except an ice cream van 🚻 No toilet facilities on site.

the best walk for kids, dogs, the whole family. either on a bike or just a good walk through the woods no matter the season- always something exciting to do for the kids. plus the best thing is you can end up at the pub at the end of the trail and feel like you've deserved it:) just be aware that are lots of experienced cyclists that sometimes are whizzing through- mind the kids and dogs. good fun to take the plym rail for a short journey- great for the kids

Plymbridge Woods is truly one of the most serene and enriching places to visit in the South West. Steeped in history, this beautiful woodland follows the path of an old railway line, once vital for transporting granite and timber. The remnants of industrial heritage—like the iconic viaduct and old railway bridges—add a unique historical charm to your journey through the woods. What makes Plymbridge Woods especially special is its peaceful atmosphere. Whether you’re here for a quiet morning walk, a family cycling adventure, or just letting your dog roam in nature, the space offers something for everyone. The walking and cycling trails are well-maintained and meander alongside the River Plym, offering stunning views and the occasional sighting of deer or peregrine falcons. It’s a haven for locals and visitors alike, and a perfect example of how natural beauty and local history can come together to provide a space for relaxation, exercise, and reflection. A must-visit for nature lovers, cyclists, walkers, and dog owners.

Miles and miles of paths to choose from. Everything from rugged muddy tracks to tarmac paths suitable for wheelchair users and buggies. Lots of places to stop and enjoy the river or have a picnic. Get out there and explore!

Absolutely Enchanting woodlands with walks along the river. Lots of different routes to take and free parking. Great for dogs plus there was a coffee/ice cream van situated in the carpark which I'm guessing is a regular there. Highly recommend visiting, very relaxing, great history attached to the area and overall an amazing place to visit.

So many trails to choose from. Both car parks are not very big, but they can still accommodate many cars. Gets very busy when the weather is nice. There was ice cream van when we visited. Riverside paths are stunning. Very good cycling paths too. Can be muddy after rain though. Very popular for dog walkers.

Great walks, stunning scenery!

Lydford boasts a large amount of history from an Anglo-Saxon Burh to being occupied by the Normans who built two castles inside it, a ringwork and a motte and bailey. Lydford was one of four Anglo-Saxon burhs in Devon built by Alfred the Great and was first recorded in 997. The burh uses the steep sides of two ravines formed by the River Lyd and a bank and ditch built forming a triangular defensive village. In the reign of Ethelred the Unready Lydford held a royal mint and during Edward the Confessors reign it was the most populous centre in Devon after Exeter. The ringwork is thought to have been built shortly after the invasion in 1066. It is in the S/W corner of the Saxon burh and uses steep ravines to protect it on two sides and a rock cut ditch on the third. It was most likely abandoned in favour of the new castle being built in 1194, it was built as a square stone tower which was used as a prison for detaining royal prisoners. In the 13th century soil was piled against the keep to form a motte and to the Northern side a bailey was added, this was not a unique way of building a motte and bailey castle but was not the common way either, normally the motte would have been built and a keep placed on top of it. It may have been used as a Court of Law and as the administration office for the Royal Forest of Dartmoor, it was used as a prison for several centuries and was used again by the Royalists during the ECW to hold Parliamentary supporters and soldiers.

Remains of a 12th Century castle / jail under the English Heritage watch. Free parking nearby and free entry. Not much to look at but good for a quick stop and a few pics. Grounds are well kept too.

Castle ruins in the town. Free entry. Undergoing some repairs right now. The castle, dating back to the 12th century, was originally a defensive structure overlooking the River Teme.

Pretty little town. Castle easily accessible and free of charge. Parking free opposite The Castle Pub. Rounded the day off nicely after visiting Lydford Gorge.

Really cool and worth a visit if in the area!!

Nice old medieval castle unfortunately it hasn't been well looked after. They have finally started by installing temp fencing around the stairs case & platform. too bad it wasn't soon enough. Worth the visit to see the old castle.

Beautiful castle full of history you can go inside it's free and there's loads of old windows and doorways etc and a stairway just inside the entrance that you can walk up and look down on everything. There is a pub next door and also a very old lovely looking church to the other side which is worth a look around

We were visiting the area and thought we’d stop in to Dartmoor Zoo as they are supposed to have one of the largest collections of big cats. The zoo wasn’t as big as we thought it might be, so you could easily walk around in half a day but it was still packed full with lots to see. We met a few volunteers working at the zoo who were extremely knowledgable and obviously had a great passion for what they did. We attended some of their talks which were very interesting. It was great to see lots of the animals and big cats up close. I would have given 5* but I think certain areas of the zoo perhaps need a big of TLC, and some of the enclosures needed updating, with some of the larger animals seemingly needing bigger enclosures with more enrichment.

Great little Zoo, friendly knowledgeable staff. Don't go here expecting a massive Zoo with hundreds of animals, instead think of it as a more up close experience, the staff actually care for these animals it's not just a Saturday job so to speak, and as an added bonus they're not trying to sell you stuff every 10 paces. So why only 4 out of 5 stars I hear you ask, well....... Their coffee sucks, that is it plain and simple, you might like it I didn't. I had burger and chips from the Cafe, the burger was tasty and the chips were nice and crispy, my Mrs had Fish and Chips, the only thing she said was the fish could be a little bigger but I think we both agreed it is simple nice hot food which is all we wanted. Great job Dartmoor Zoo thank you.

This is a lovely little wildlife park, it's great for a morning or afternoon but not enough for us for the day. There's lot's of animals to see and information on them all. The staff are all so friendly. The disabled parking is inside the park up the hill. If needed you need to purchase your tickets then they will open the gates and you can drive in. There's a nice cafe selling light lunches as well as cakes. The animals all seem happy and well looked after although some of the enclosures could be larger. It does look like they are doing lots of work to improve this.

If you have a guest in a wheelchair, basically forget it. Hills all over the zoo. Parts of the pathways are not maintained, if a pathway at all. Only good part is parking for disabled, you get to park in the middle of the zoo. Animals could do with a bit more food in my opinion. Do have a variety of animals, but not many. Is great for younger children for a few hours.

A small but well kept zoo. Animals is beautiful condition- the jaguar in particular. The otters were very entertaining too. Had a lovely chat with a keeper about their newt. A shout out to the cafe team for perfectly prepared gluten free pizza that was coeliac safe! Will definitely visit again.

Had a Brilliant day at Dartmoor Zoo. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. In particular Henry knew a lot about the animals and was a lovely guy. A lot of the staff are volunteers and you can tell they really enjoy what they do. Loved dragon the tiger, he really put a good show for the visitors. Also loved the otters. It was a shame about the rainy weather but still didn’t want to leave!

Had a thoroughly lovely day today at Dartmoor Zoo with my 3 children who also had a great time. Animals all looked well looked after, the staff were very friendly and the zoo itself was very very clean. The tiger was a particular highlight as you could see it in all it's majestic glory fairly close. The birds and monkeys were also very lovely to see. Would highly recommend. We spent around 3 hours there and that felt about right and saw most things at least twice in that time. Very much looking forward to utilising the annual ticket and to go back and see anything we missed.

Food. Great. Place. Great. Service. Poor. Full of young people. All they did was fuss over a dog when we were waiting for our drinks to be ordered. But the view was fantastic and staying in Hope Cove was great. We went to The Crabshell, the same partner, was great (make sure to see that review) but this was poor and they weren't even apologetic. Just sitting chatting while we waited for an hour. RIDICULOUS!

Had a fabulous visit with my mum. We sat on the terrace in the afternoon sun overlooking the bay as the sun went down. We both had the fish with skin on fries - beautifully fresh and tasty. Mine was gluten free and absolutely gorgeous (not used to saying this for gluten free food!). All of the staff were professional and friendly but Melissa especially was so helpful and thoughtful with my mum who had some mobility challenges today. Thank you.

The pub really couldn’t be nearer the sea. It’s a lovely location. The staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was delicious too. I had the cabin room which was a suite so was very pleased with that too. I loved how people’s dogs were so welcome. Often pubs say that but just tolerate them in practice. Not here, they really are very welcome.

We had a wonderful meal at the Hope and Anchor, 4 adults and a toddler. All the food was delicious, the proper pie was great and the desserts enormous. Very nice spritzes too. Max and Lari who served us were both lovely, especially with our toddler and had excellent drinks recommendations (not for the toddler!). Great place for a walk along the beach after. Would thoroughly recommend.

We had a really lovely meal here. The best fish and chips I've ever had and included curry sauce as well as tartar. Would highly recommend. I would say essential to book in high season.

We had a wonderful evening at the Hope and Anchor in Hope Cove. We ordered the sea bass from the specials board and it was absolutely delicious – fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavour. We were lucky enough to sit outside and enjoy the most beautiful sunset, which made the whole experience even more special. The team were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, as always, which is one of the many reasons we love coming here. A fantastic spot – highly recommend!

I had such a fantastic time at the Hope & Anchor in Hope Cove. The setting is absolutely stunning, with gorgeous views and a lovely atmosphere that makes you feel instantly relaxed. What really stood out to me, though, was the service – Anna behind the bar and Eden (server ) both went above and beyond to make my visit special. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, they made sure everything was spot on from start to finish. It’s rare to find that level of care and professionalism, and it made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place – I will definitely be back!

On my way back, I passed through Okehampton. Saw a castle sign and thought, why not. I'm glad I did as this was a historical treasure dating back over 800 years. Wonderful scenery all around. Not many people here, so I literally had the place to myself. Can't complain, worth the visit.

A very interesting place to visit. Audio to hear which is worth having as you go around the remains of the castle. Impressive as to how much of the castle is there. Beautiful views and also a lovely walk around it into woods and a meadow with seating at the castle and picnic area. Nice lady serving at the booth for the entrance fee and souvenirs.

Surprisingly interesting place although difficult to find. Could do with some more directions please. Great view from the top and how some of the castle remains standing is amazing. Steep drops though with no barriers so be careful with children!

Well, it would have been a better experience if they were actually open. They were unusually closed due to operational issues whatever that means . Regardless, it is still a beautiful site. We managed to find a beautiful path to walk back to town on which was significantly better than walking on the road. I will have to google more info on the castle as it is very old and has a huge amount of history behind it. Nice steps leading up to the main building at the top of the hill.

The site is owned by English Heritage and the entrance fee was well worth it. It's quite a steep climb to the top of the site, where the view is impressive. The different rooms and walls of the castle are very interesting. There is a car park approximately 100 yards away and a disabled parking area located just opposite the main entrance to the site.

I love castles, and this is a nice ruin of an old nobles hunting Lodge made to castle scale. Very sweet little historic site, quite steep towards the top, but lovely visit. Toilets available too, a big plus 😉

Lovely castle, tucked away in Okehampton. Well worth a visit, looking down on the remains you can visualise where and what the buildings were. English Heritage. Small car park, toilet and shop.

A fantastic bike ride, 17.5 miles round trip and mostly flat. Free parking and the start and the only bits on the road are brief and quiet. Some fantastic views and great places to stop for a picnic. Pretty easy ride for the whole family.

A great days ride, 95% road surface too! We stopped in a great pub/cafe/cycle shop on the way & took the train home.

Wow. Been on a few and this one is very good, plenty of places to stop and plenty to see on the way. The slopes aren't very steep at all and the track is virtually all tarmacked, if you start at Oakhamoton there's plenty of car park spaces by the railway station with plenty of spaces.

Great track for easy ride, great views and spectacular bridge. Highly recommended!

It is one of my favourite rides. Nice and flat if you are of senior years and the distance is just right. I like the Spring and the fields of blue bells, about late April.

What3Words. Warp.Liberty.mile. for start of track park by train station which is free. Only walked first few miles of track was ok as walk but would be much better for cycling

Superb traffic free cycle route from Lydford to Okehampton. Also found a superb Vegan Cafe in West Street Okehampton, not tb be missed..

Ex Southern region heritage railway with interesting traction and rolling stock. Nice tearoom with tasty all day breakfasts. Free car parking, good community feel to the station, oh and it has a cat!

A lovely station, with a great cafe

Newly restored rail service. Station undergoing refurbishment ready for May 2022.

Excellent Station area and Cafe. A good place to be.

Friendly staff, even gave the dogs biscuits when we arrived, Christmassy decorated train carriage was bizarre, but we really enjoyed our time there! :-)

Quiet when I was there. Nice little museum. Buffet inside. Met Percy the station cat very friendly. Staff friendly too.

Tho the station itself was fine we did the Christmas theme just before Xmas and found the experience below par compared to previous years, the issue I had was there was no communication and my emails were ignored! They changed the Xmas theme for 2017 and a lot of people weren’t too impressed by this, tho the layout was good and we still got cookies and hit chocolate te theme was disjointed and music used to pass time rather than being part of the enjoyment.

Fabulous circular walk from Overbeck’s National Trust car park to bolt head. Parking was £6 all day. Great views! A moderate walk with undulating hills

Great wide ranging view and an easy clifftop path with an option for a circular route. Just beware, there are big drops. Dog friendly, car parking is £3 all day, free to National Trust.

Fantastic loop walk from Overbecks National Trust Gardens. They open 2nd April. Blossom on Magnolia looked amazing even from a distance.!

Wild,wonderful and beautiful

Fabulous walk, take ferry to South Sands Salcombe, walk up by Overbecks. On a good day superb views over the estuary, can be quite tricky in parts and need good head for heights. Parts of the walk were cut out of the rock to enable WW1 injured soldiers to get to Overbecks via boat from below, when Overbecks was used as a Hospital. If you 'like' this review please give me a tick ✅♥ Thank you...

Amazing views from this rugged landscape. The walk up from South Beach was fantastic with an outstanding part of the SWCP being simply breathing in more than one sense of the word.

Wonderful views and scenery. SW coast path runs along here but there are plenty of other paths and walks to enjoy.

Great visit, not very large but quite unique with some of the plants and the views are stunning. Lots of different paths to take that weave in and out of different gardens with varying focuses. We have young children, easier to carry, pram would be difficult.

Beautiful gardens. Still lots of flowers even in October. Catering just outside the entrance excellent. Quite a narrow winding road to get there but very worthwhile.

Really wonderful afternoon here. The gardens are beautiful, lots of lovely flowers and palm trees. Plenty of birds to see. The gardens are pretty much all dog friendly apart from the banana garden and front lawn otherwise they can go everywhere and there is water bowls at the entrance for them. There is a lovely little cafè. I would highly recommend a visit here.

Lovely gardens and interesting foliage. The house was closed when we visited, but we enjoyed the most magnificent views and walks. The volunteers were friendly and welcoming.

Very nice well kept gardens with many exotics. Good walks/trails with some lovely views over the surrounding countryside.

Always a treat coming to this garden. A lovely walk from Salcombe past North and South Sands along the narrow and steep roads! (there's a lovely footpath getting out of the top of Salcombe if you can find it!!) The gardens are very well kept and beautiful. We have been many times and will come back many more!

Beautiful National Trust gardens overlooking South Sands bay. The staff are very friendly and knowledgable, and dogs on leads are allowed into the gardens. There’s a cafe by the entrance that serves really nice coffee / cold drinks, and food (focaccia sandwiches, cakes, decent vegan options etc!). There is parking just outside, and access to the coastal path direct from the garden. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

An unforgettable experience at Salcombe Gin Bar! We had an incredible time at the Salcombe Gin Bar – the atmosphere was vibrant yet relaxed, and the setting right by the water made it even more special. The real standout, though, was the service. Crystal was absolutely fantastic – warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what she does. She took the time to walk us through the gin menu, made brilliant recommendations based on our tastes, and mixed up some of the best cocktails we've ever had. Her attention to detail and friendly energy really elevated the whole experience. Can’t recommend this place enough – we’ll definitely be back!

A birthday gift and a great afternoon of drinking and making gin was had by all. Harry and Chris were our hosts and talked us through the distilling process in their distilling room, Chris then took us through our gin making and tasting! Gin made bottled and labelled, then back to the bar to sample of own masterpieces with Jake’s sound counsel as to what garnishes we should have. A memorable day thank you one and all

Perfect gift! A wonderful opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Salcombe and the joy of creating one's own gin. Very happy wife.

I owned a house in Island Street for nearly 30 years and was delighted when the Salcombe Distillery was built on the site of the old Island Cruising Club Boathouse When the cocktail bar opened, I was very excited to pay a visit. On the first few occasions I treated our party to Salcombe Gin Marmahitos, which were superb if not a little pricey at £12 each. Last weekend I was in Salcombe with my partner and we decided to treat ourselves to one of these wonderful drinks. Unfortunately the quality is now quite poor, with no caramelised dried orange (which we had to ask for) very little marmalade flavour and yet these are now £14 each. I would not mind paying for the drink as it once was but not as it is now. Come on Salcombe Gin if you are going to charge premium prices your customers should receive a premium drink.

Terrible experience on the first night of our holiday. Popped in for a cocktail before dinner, were brusquely brushed off to a table by the bar staff when we asked whether we should order there or at the table. Waited for service to come, none arrived. Flagged down a member of staff to be told he wasn't serving, but with a tasting group. Went back to the bar to be told someone would come and, about 20 minutes after our arrival, finally piggy back ordered from a waiter delivering drinks to the neighbouring couple who had also complained about the delay. The bar had fewer than 10 customers in it. 15 minutes later, still no sign of our drinks and when a second round of drinks was brought to the couple we checked to be told they had no record of our order. We left and expressed our disappointment to a female member of bar staff who smirked at us and gave not a word of a regret or an apology. We won't be back, nor ever buy the brand. Incredibly disappointing.

Loved the Gin School experience I did back in September. There are so many botanicals to choose from to "make" your gin. I did the experience solo and I didn't feel awkward so don't be afraid to do this on your own! Highly recommend this to anyone who loves gin.

Every single detail is so very well thought out. The shop alone is a work of art, and even resembles a gallery with gorgeous photography adorning the walls and beautiful bottles displayed well. The distillery is open for all to see at one end of a bright and airy open-plan bar area with feels like a boathouse overlooking the glistening estuary. All staff are welcoming, knowledgeable and generous. The gin school especially was both fascinating and exciting, teaching you so much more than your regular distillery tour. You have some upfront learning about gin making in the main distillery and then you are brought to apply your learning practically whilst making your own gin with your own set of botanicals in your own dedicated copper still. You then bottle, name, label and package your own gin with enough to have a gin & tonic or two with your own creation at the bar. Very, very well done - will absolutely be back.

Wonderful experience! Nice and small church which explains the history. Very calm and quiet church.

Great church steeped in history. Signs of water damage from leaking roof above Naive. Remains of 12th century screen painted with characters from the Gospels. Working Organ. Tower built century after mane part of church, look at the diffrence in Masonry. Upper interior is plastered over covering Mason Marks, Alter is of wooded table, no sign of original.

Lovely church in the middle of Dartmoor. Sweeping view of the moors. Widdecombe can get very crowded in summer and weekends. If you go later in the day the town is less crowded but the shops and church all close at 5ish. Photos taken Saturday, 13th 2025 September around 5pm

So clean and nice, extremely peaceful. Church is open and we really like to read the inventory of the tombstones and get to know their stories.

It's an interesting old church set in the village of Widecombe on Dartmoor. It's known as the 'Cathedral in the Moor' and as you come down the hill towards the village you can see why. Widecombe has 2 good pubs and other eateries. A church hall has a craft market on Thursdays during summer and a saturday market too. The famous Widecombe fair at the end of August, a National Trust shop and a forge plus a village green and plenty of parking. Free loos in the first car park. Cows, horses and sheep wander about when they feel like it. A good place to visit.

Was struck by ball lightning here. Still a cool place

For a minute I thought I was in London. Set in the pretty village of Widecombe-in-the-Moor, Saint Pancras Church is the centre point of the village sitting proud between various historic buildings. You can take a stroll through the church grounds and when the church doors are open pop in for a quiet look around. There is a decent place to eat a minutes walk away if you're peckish. The church was built originally in the 14th century, and as far as I can remember is a late gothic style.

We visited during the half term school holidays. We arrived at around 11:30am and was on site for around 3 1/2 hours. On arrival you can pay at the gate or can pre book online. Children under 4 go free. There is a short walk to the main entrance where you are welcomed by a picknick area which has a small cafe and girt shop. There is a selection of ice-cream, ice lollies, drinks, chips. There is small selection of animals you can feed such as goats and meerkat. Please be aware that you need to book and pay extra for the meet the keeper meerkat feeding experience. There is also a small building that has snake's, stick insects, cockroaches and a tarantula. There are 3 different trials to walk. The blue one is quick and easy to navigate through the woodlands. However, the red and purple trails are quite steep with different types of terrain. This is not suitable for any type of pushchair or wheelchairs. The ground can be wet and muddy, so decent footwear is advised. If you want to walk all three trails, you will need between 2-3 hours depending on your speed and skill. You can borrow a baby carrier if you require which is free of charge. The cafe and bench area did become quite busy at around 1pm. Overall, the visit was quite nice with very nice views of the water fall and stream that runs down.

Nice trial with animals in beginning. Nice for kids. You 3 options of trial.10mins, 30mins or 45mins. Anyone can go don't need extra shoes. In entrance you need to pay per adult 13.50 including car park.

Absolute little gem this one. They have 3 routes to walk around. Blue which is rather easy and for the kids. Then red and purple which show you the water falls. You need good grippy shoes on. We did all routes. And the people route is the hardest but you get some awesome views. Be prepared to have to scramble up some rocky surfaces so you need a bit of fitness for this. You are at times climbing up steep rocky areas but it is so much fun. Red Route a little easier but still some climbs to do. Then you have a great cafe and also animals to look around. Really really fun.

One of the most amazing places to go in England, it is totally untouched beauty. Different trails to follow, nice coffee shop, easy to park. You can easily spend a day in there. I went middle of August and the weather was lovely.

An absolute beauty! I can strongly recommend it! We walked the basic route first,but our 12yr old daughter and myself were itching to climb some rocks and the waterfall, so took part of the red route too. Was so worth it. I do recommend outdoor trainers though! (I didn't have one as was last minute idea). Nice animals (meercats, macaw, goats, bunnies, chickens, skunk, owl) to see too and kids can feed them (need to purchase voucher). Food, ice cream, drinks in the caffee. The weather was a mix, but plenty of shades too on a sunny day if required. The woodland and the rocks are so tranquil and gives so much joy to young ones and older ones. If you are a bit more fragile, there is a route for that too. It's a must place to visit. 🤗

Visited not realising it was a pay for attraction, for the walk only I wouldn’t say its worth the entry fee but if you are a family the small zoo, shop and cafe and other activities probably make it worth the entry fee. The walk is good and the falls are interesting. The purple route is tough so take their advice and only do if fit and mobile.

A great outdoor activity with splendid walk among humongous rocks and a cute little animal encounter with goats, rabbits, skunks( all safe)) , a giant blue macaw. There is a place to park as well as have something to eat.

We took the ferry from Dartmouth along to Greenway, definitely the best way to travel. A beautiful day with clear views of the Dart riverside properties. Greenways had long been on a list but actually it didn't quite match our expectations. The house was well laid out, the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable but it just wasn't for us (purely subjective). Perhaps we had pinned too much on our love for Agatha Christie that the reality didn't match. That said, it was still a lovely day out and I would certainly recommend a visit. The boathouse was probably our favourite element.

A lovely house, Agatha Christine's holiday home where she spent her summer, birthday and Christmas. A small but beutiful house furnished with her belongings. Lovely gardens and boat house, dogs are welcome but are not allowed round the house. Note that there is limited car parking that needs to be booked in advance and is limited to 3 hours. You can however arrive by boat from Dartmouth or Cross by ferry from Dittisham. Well worth a visit.

Stunning location to visit on a sunny day - when entering you are provided with a map of the grounds and can visit various shops & facilities near the entrance or head over to Agatha Christie’s home for a room by room tour or the boathouse by the lake to soak in the dazzling view across the water! Further into the grounds you’ll find a greenhouse, gardens & spots to sit or relax as you make your way around. A good location to visit with family or dogs!

Really nice house with wonderful gardens. Please book a parking space before you come as you might be disappointed. National trust members get free parking. Lots of rooms that you can go in, you can spend as much time in them as you like. The grounds are wonderful, well looked after. You can visit the boat house, which is down a few paths (uneven). Great, nevertheless. All in all, great.

This is a really lovely NT. Beautiful gardens, lovely atmosphere, beautifully cared for of course and lovely buildings. I enjoyed seeing around Christie's home and playing a game of tennis in the gardens. The deck chairs are a lovely way to look over the Dart and relax.

Great morning spent at Greenway exploring the house, taking a leisurely walk in the grounds. Beautiful views of the river Dart. Very hilly so wear sensible footwear. Make sure you pre-book your parking and be aware of the very narrow roads.

We really loved Greenway the summer home of the author Agatha Christie and her family. The house has a nice atmosphere and is packed with the family collections of artifacts such as silver, china. The National Trust volunteers were very welcoming. We had a walk through the gardens which were vast and up at the top could see along the River Dart towards Dartmouth. We rode on the ferry to and from Dartmouth to Greenway and it was a really nice ride. Highly recommend both the house and boat ride.

Visited here midweek during the late August bank holiday break in Paignton. We booked in advanced and got a slight discount was around £60 odd pounds for a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children). The site is huge and is a lot of up and down hill so wear comfortable shoes and prepare to walk. There are loads of animals, cafes, play areas for kids to enjoy and they really had a blast. We were tired by the end but was a great family day out, would recommend you visit here if you in or near to Paignton.

A great zoo with a large verity of animals a few of which wasn’t out for you to see but it wasn’t a massive issue. You can see some of the animals quite close up like the orangutans, lions, cheetahs, baboons etc. There is a lot of inclines if you’re someone with mobility issues you may struggle but it is well worth the money you pay to get in. There is a lot of tree coverage so you’re not baking in the sun while walking around. Would definitely recommend

Amazing zoo with fantastic staff. My 2 daughters ages 8 and 13 recently had a junior zoo keeper experience and they loved every minute of it. Jake, their experience guide was extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind and kept the girls engrossed for hours! Thank you Jake for a wonderful experience for the whole family!

We went on a cold damp drizzly day, so some animals weren't outside to see. Im disabled on a mobility scooter. Most of the park is accessible and robust scooters can be hired at the zoo. We were given a map and advised on the best route for mobility scooters. We ate food in the resaraunt. Food was good quality. The only fault was tables weren't cleaned so quickly so hard finding a clean table. We only had half a day here, so we zoomed round. On a nicer day and a leisurely stroll round, you coukd easily spend a whole day here. Animals get fed at certain times, so if you wish to see this, ask at entrance the timings, then you can adjust your route accordingly. We were particularly fascinated with the sloths. Never seen one in real life before, they are fun to watch. I would reccomend a visit, help support this lovely zoo to stay open.

A great day out, just enough to cover in an afternoon, with not too far between each area. A lovely range of animals of all kinds with good size enclosures for them. Lots of information available at each area. Food and drink onsite is great with a number of choices available. We stopped into the cafe area as the other ones around the zoo are closed out of high season.

A beautifully naturalistic zoo with incredibly friendly and attentive staff throughout — from the keepers to the café team, everyone made us feel welcome. My daughters had an absolute blast, and to top it off, the food and drink were reasonably priced, which was a pleasant surprise. A genuinely lovely day out.

Lovely zoo animals are in large enclosures. Unfortunately some of the areas were closed when we went but not the main ones. The menu was slightly limited and if you are getting food please allow more time then you would expect for quing as the que moves slowly.

The pier itself is lovely and the views off the end are well worth the walk. My issue was with the arcades,it was quite obvious that the games are all rigged not to pay out. I've never played a 2p machine that literally didn't drop a single coin. It's a real shame because the place is well looked after and could easily be a nice place to spend an hour if they weren't cheating people.

Very clean and tidy pier all the kiosks and children's rides looked new! The 2p arcade was fun and again very clean. At the end of the pier is a crazy golf Jurassic Park with dinosaurs. Great fun for all the family and great photo opportunities.

It was one of the best piers we've been on. There was so much for families to do same applied to paignton, we really enjoyed our visit.from the moment we stepped on the pier there were food kiosks then game stalls and amusements up to you get to a crazy golf at the e d, non stop fun for the kids, non stop pay out for mum and dad but if you get a bad day it's really good

This is such a lovely retro day out. We spent several hours here. So many lovely retro games. The payout machines are definitely rigged (claw machines, 2p machines etc), but this is expected. We have fun on them regardless. There are lots of lovely photo opportunities, and the view is quite beautiful at the end of the pier. We didn't play the golf but it looked like fun. They have the traditional carnival snacks as well which is nice. We will definitely come again.

Nice pier, with lots of Amusements and a mini golf course at the end. Watch out for the dinos though. Great views of the bay and beach.

Busy pier in Paignton, crazy dinosaur golf at far end, loads of amusement machines and few eateries along the stretch out to sea. Ticket collection machines to purchase prizes later, coin push machines to win all sorts. The usual crane grab machines that always drop prizes lol. Could spend a fortune in there with kids.

The pier is very clean and tidy with an lots of new and old machines in which is good then only thing is as soon as you leave the pusher or grab machine the staff open it up and move the prizes back so u spend more more to win them

Lovely historical, picturesque village with cheap parking for the day. Free admission to everything. Beautiful grounds and gardens with working craft centre. Great for a family day out or a romantic stroll. Be prepared for the typical Devon narrow lanes to get to it though. That might put people off going, as it was blissfully quiet for us in the middle of August!

It's definitely worth a visit. However, we went on a Monday, and certain things were not open on that day. Didn't spoil it and enjoyed the walks, the church, and the crafts. Treating ourselves to a lovely hand-made glass fish ornament at Our Glass, you can watch the skill of the artisan as he crafts the glass into his latest creation. Friendly and stops to chat. As do all the crafts folk open for business. We were lucky to catch a small bus, by The Drum pub-restaurant, that visits Cockington and drives into Torquay via local stops. Bus is air-conditioned too.

You'll need at least half a day to see and enjoy everything (if the weather is good). Would recommend the Chocolate shop, the cherry ones were particularly divine. Don't forget to visit Cob Barn where Allan will talk you through his art in his workshop. Hoping to buy a steel rose from him at some point. Also check out the Iron Mongers and surrounding shops, then purchase yourself a cute little handmade glass animal at the glass blowers for a bargain £8.

Absolutely stunning little village which is full of historical charm! We enjoyed a delicious jam and cream scone and a wander through the woodland park. There are craft workshops offering items for sale set in the old barns.

What a gem! There’s plenty of parking in a few different locations around the park, so don’t despair if the first place you try has no spaces available! The parkland is gorgeous, so much space to roam free and play! There are places buy food and drink (pub, ice cream parlour and cafe), but also loads of space for picnics. The craft/shopping areas are lovely, really inviting spaces and everyone willing to chat about the work/products if you’re interested. Lots of history to read about too and a gorgeous garden to enjoy. The children’s play area is disappointing, you can see it was lovely once, but parts of it have unfortunately gone into disrepair.

Stunning place for a walk. Loads of walkways and the ponds are great to sit and watch all the fish as the water was really clear. There is also a cafe, stalls and a stunning flower garden.

Visited this site with my son the here is a little gift shop in the village and we went and had a walk around the manor which itself is only really a cafe but there are also plenty of nice grounds to walk around and many unique traders in the craft/art traders around the back the gardens and ponds are also great to walk around we did see a sign for carriage rides but could not find them

i’ve been here around two times the first time I just had a little walk along the harbour and it is a very very beautiful place. Such a nice little town to wonder about him and then the second time I came for the pirate festival and it was packed, but it seems like such a fun community and such a lovely place to celebrate. I would definitely return and also recommend recommended to anybody else.!

Lovely place for a leisurely stroll, apparently you can't sometimes see seals basking on the pontoons - but none on duty when we were there! Lots of places to eat & drink, short stay car park has tight spaces but reasonable charges.

We have been here many times since our honeymoon 39 yrs ago. It’s a beautiful little town that’s not too commercialised and the shops have stayed the same. Lovely harbour with seals. Fab fish n chips. Great place both day and night. Very happy memories.

Absolutely stunning. We stayed here for 4 days recently and had the best time. Beautiful views, lovely restaurants and pubs and just a fab general atmosphere. Would totally recommend.

Full of eclectic food, shops and people. The best place to be on a wonderful sunny day. A lot of seaside towns need to learn from this beautiful area.

I went to Brixham on a coach trip with my social club. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of shops there from several charity shops to craft shops on the harbour side. Also a replica of the Golden Hind was interesting. I Would recommend a visit to Brixham if only for a few hours.

Lovely place to visit but car parking is sparce so get there early. Nice hut to buy food but expect the price to match the scenery. Lovely shops to visit and had my hair and beard cut. Made a good job and put more sprays and oils on my head than I've used in a year 😁. Had to have fish and chips and a dip in the ocean with the second family. Wonderful week which ended in Crewfest and my joining the RNLI ☺️

Such a jolly guy to welcome us at entrance/pay desk! Very helpful and friendly. He recommended we take our time to look in detail at everything as there are lots of 'play on words' signage giving plenty of laughs! Great that the ticket price allows free entry for a week from visit. I thought £20.50 was reasonable as we spent 2 n half hours and there's lots of interesting history and information about the costs and man hours involved in the creation and production/maintenance of the models. It is constantly evolving, we really enjoyed our visit !!

This was an amazing day out. So many tiny details and so many puns. Look out for where's wally and friends! The person who designed this place was a genius. The models are all beautifully made and the landscaping is amazing. It is in a valley so you will have to walk up and downhill, however, everything is laid with concrete and there are handrails as well. I went round it with a buggy and it was fine. There are indoor parts as well including mythical kingdoms and more detailed models. The crazy golf was fun as well and is included in the ticket price. There is a coffee shop with snacks and bathrooms at the top as well. There's also baby changing areas. I would recommend going during the day to see all of the tiny details. You can return within 7 days free with your ticket. We went the following night to see the illuminations which were beautiful. I will come again next year with my family ☺️ Thank you so much to the lovely staff who made our day as well!

Now this place was a surprise, I only thought I'd be here a couple of hours....... 4 hours later, so much to see and take in, the place was alot bigger than expected, I loved it...... Even played a round of mini golf 😂. It looks like you could get to do I night time visit on special occasions (would have loved to have done that, maybe next time I'm in the area 😁). Definitely a place to visit with or without the kids.

Went there during school holidays, and we were pleasantly surprised how big and lovely this village is. Lots of interesting displays, since it was October everywhere were skeletons and other spooky things. Since we are local we also got 25% discount which was nice. Lovely little gift shop and cafe. Parking - pay and display.

Well worth going. It looks like nothing from the outside but big once inside. The quality of the exhibits is very high showing craftsmanship and a sense of humour. Entrance is from a local council car park paid on RingGo

Visited babbacombe with my partner , we both loved It, the attention to detail is crazy , you easily spend 2/3 hours there , also free crazy golf included in your admission ! Only downside and it's not the model villages fault , you have to pay for parking as it's owned by the council ( shock ) it's around £4 for 3 hours

Really good little model village with a lot of humour, crazy golf and a cafe. There's also some indoor bits which are really good. Public car park outside

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommended Experience! An absolute must-do if you’re in the area. The caves themselves are fascinating – steeped in history, atmosphere, and stories that stretch back millions of years. Walking in and around the site feels like stepping into another world. A very special shout-out to Mark, our guide. He was engaging, funny, and crystal clear in his delivery. More than that, he was interactive and knew exactly how to bring the history to life, making the experience immersive from start to finish. If you’re looking for something unique, memorable, and truly eye-opening, this is one of the best things to do. I couldn’t recommend it more highly!

I attended a little while ago for the first time despite being local to the area, firstly we stopped off for a coffee as it was very much needed first thing and I didn't have anything to fault with it, if anything I remember it being one of the better lattes I've had in the bay which is saying something. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable when booking making the process quick and painless. In terms of the guided tour this was pretty damn good, the tour guide was knowledgeable and engaged with the tour on numerous occasions, always happy to answer any questions put towards them and ensured everyone's safety in the darker areas. If you're looking for something unique and different from the daily grind I'd definitely recommend trying this out, either solo or as a family.

Kent's Cavern - Fantastic geological marvel. Naturally formed over 500 million years. You cannot help but be in awe of this cavernous wonder. You have a fully guided tour who is informative and friendly and willing to answer all questions. I have seen they do special events in the caves as well, which seems a great idea. Such as Halloween/Christmas/Movie nights. Unfortunately... This attraction is not the longest and you could easily be in and out within the hour. Disability access isnt great but they do highlight this before you visit. I do feel soo much more could be done to enhance the experience and make you stay on site longer creating more of a day out of your experience. There is a woodland walk they have built but a lot more investment is needed to make it engaging. Money is tight these days, and i wouldn't even like to begin to imagine the amount insurance costs for something like this! and i hope it is protected forever going forwards... But to make money sometimes you need to spend money! and this is definitely one of those attractions.

Had a fantastic time in the caves today! We visited with our 3 children and arrived 5mins late due to having to walk from our accommodation and the gentleman on the desk was extremely helpful and moved us to the next tour which we truly appreciated. Our guide Alan was fabulous ; engaging, informative and knowledgeable. Really interesting tour which lasted about an hour but flew by as it was so enjoyable. The caves are well lit and it has good flooring - there was a granny in flip flops and socks on our tour and she managed fine! We had a cream tea after which were lovely and generous portions, the cafe staff were all very polite, friendly and helpful, we had a lovely time and would highly recommend thank you! X

Fantastic place to visit when in Torquay and well worth visiting if further away. Surprisingly large cave with excellent tour guides. I went in October so there were only 4 visitors so had a great experience with no crowds. Highly recommended!

A real holiday highlight, these stunning caverns are shown in as natural a state as possible and are all the better for it. Enhanced by the top quality guides, the shows are inclusive and family friendly without glossing the less clean parts of history. Fascinating and a must visit while in the area

Absolutely fascinating experience at Kent's Cavern. Our tour guide, Emelia, was brilliant. Her knowledge of the caves, prehistoric history, and little details made the entire tour come to life. The caves themselves are stunning and incredibly well preserved. It’s amazing to think how much history is hidden underground. Everything was well organised, from the welcome at the front desk to the informative tour and café afterwards. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. Whether you’re into history, geology, or just looking for something unique to do, Kent’s Cavern is a must visit. Don’t miss it!

Was a beautiful experience, The owner lit a nice candle for me and my girlfriend. Food was amazing with stunning presentation. I feel it’s unfair to judge the atmosphere as it was a monday night and nobody was there but beautiful nevertheless. Will definitely be back.

It took over 1hour for a good to arrive, table that arrived after us where served before us - there was 3 of us, and a table of 3 that arrived 20minutes after us where served before us. We order regular breakfast and I have taken a photo of the food that took over an hour to make - for that length of time maybe my expectations of the food were to High - the waitress apologised after we had been sat there an hour, and said food wouldn’t be long and that when other tables food came out. We all make mistakes, but just a rushed apology didn’t feel like amazing customer service!

Managed to make a late booking for 20, on a bank holiday. Fantastic experience food and service was amazing. Would recommend to anyone.

Amazing food, perfect location near the river and very friendly staff ! Huge amount of ice cream flavours to choose from ! Luscious !

found this little gem of a restaurant after trying to negotiate the very busy restaurants on the other side of the river. Great food, all freshly prepared so worth waiting for, owner very friendly and the best mojito served with a smile. highly recommended

Came with two LD clients. Welcomed by owners (father and daughter); food was great! Homemade, real "Taste Of Italy". Tiramisu definitely the best in Exeter, if not Devon. Come and try it and prove me wrong! I come regularly and recommend anyone with LD clients or anyone to come and enjoy your time eating, drinking and socialising here 🥰😊.

Brilliant night out. Food was amazing and the live music was a nice touch 👌

Awesome museum with free entry. This museum covers not just the natural history of the local area but also an extremely wide range of different exhibitions! A must see if you're staying in Exeter or the surrounding area. I visited twice in one week!

The renovation work done on the museum was well worth the time and effort and there are lots of well thought through additions. The museum is vast so you could spend hours there but, as entry is free, I quite often just pop in to spend a few minutes in a lunch break or when waiting for the train (it is just next to Exeter Central Station). It is worth noting that there are lockers at the museum where you can leave your belongings while you walk round which is great for those who are passing by and perhaps have more bags etc that they would like! There is a wonderful model of Exeter within the museum which is so interesting to see and the taxidermy (although it might not be everyone's cup of tea) is also a big draw. The museum often has really wonderful exhibitions such as the BBC wildlife photographer of the year so there is always something new to see. I haven't eaten in the cafe there but have heard good things. Everything in the museum seems to have some sort of link to Exeter (however tenuous) & just gives a feeling of being there for the people. It was friendly & relaxed & the information is suitable for the younger/casual interest & also anyone who wants to read more about something. It's laid out in such a way that most of the rooms & exhibits 'flow' & connect together. You could probably spend half a day there (we ran out of time). However, the reviewers who've said the café is reasonably priced, probably come from a more expensive area than Exeter (personally we thought £6+ for a ciabatta & a bit of salad is fairly steep)

The staff are definitely the best thing about this place. The volunteers show a genuine interest in the exhibits and are very helpful. There's really lots to see in this museum, even if it is a bit like most other museums. Plenty of vases on display. All in all it's quite well run and well worth dropping in.

came here to start of my birthday as i do love going to the museum to see the animals and all and it didn’t disappoint it was much bigger than i thought it was so cool! i had so much fun i would definitely recommend you to visit!

Very nice museum, I'm not into taxidermy or Egyptian artifacts being away from Egypt, but plenty of other exhibits of interest.

As other people wrote, this museum has a large collection of artifacts and specimens, and considering the size (someone wrote it is vast, but if you have visited the great museums of the world, you can’t quite call it vast), there is a lot of interest. I enjoyed the prehistoric portion of the museum because it complements my visit to Kents Cavern and the Jurassic Coast. I appreciated the sensitivity about the acquisition of many of the artifacts and the peoples they belonged to, and therefore was disappointed that no sensitivity was shown about the problems of hunting (and the resulting “taxidermized” animals). I mean, is it still so admirable that King George V shot a Bengal tiger (and donated it to the museum)? Wasn’t that whole hunting culture one of the reasons some of these beautiful species are endangered? (Hunting is still a threat to Bengal tigers, though conservation efforts have improved their situation in the past decade). The museum should have some comment about conservation efforts today.

This was a lovely museum to visit, telling the industrial stories of Exeter many years back! The manufacturing market of the likes of carpets and clothing is delved into, as is the expansion of the railways and how they entered the city. Love the exhibits with miniature trains and the old artefacts like books kept, geologic section is interesting with the relics and stuffed animals give an insight into life way before our time!

Unlike most cathedrals, this was wonderfully peaceful and free of crowds, when I went. Lovely staff. The 'Treasures tour' is well worth the £5 - includes the 'Exeter book', which is oldest manuscript of Old English literature/poems/riddles.

Who love the architecture must visited and the interior is filled with fascinating details. My visit to Exeter Cathedral was a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment I stepped through the grand west front, I was completely captivated by the sheer scale and beauty of this historical building. The most striking feature is undoubtedly the longest uninterrupted vaulted ceiling in England, which feels like a vast stone wave frozen in time above you.

A wonderful and interestingly colourful example of an English Cathedral. The painted bosses in the ceiling and carvings on the end of the Choirs seating are excellent examples. Look out for the patron saint of Dentists and her story and the historical Cathedral Cat.

Nice clean area. Very pretty. Lots of space to sit and eat on grass. If raining there is a wall tk sit on as well

One of the ancient cathedrals, however the architecture is unbelievable and must be seen in a tourist spot in Exeter. Anytime welcome, and there is a £ 5 ticket price for adult visitors. When you compare the architecture ticket, the price is nothing. It was built between ADs 50 and 75.

One of the most beautiful cathedrals in the UK. Enormously huge and historic. Atmosphere is incredible.

Absolutely love it here, a glorious space. So disappointed that the statues have gone from the café, they framed the amazing ceiling so beautifully. Admit I haven't been back since x

Awesome and unique maintenance ducts that once held water pipes for Exeter. I really struggled due to how small and crapped it is in places; you really feel claustrophobic in here!

Excellent experience ,me and my wife loved it , Katie the guide adds a great bit of humour to the tour , a section of the tour , you get offered to do a section as walk or crawl , do the crawl option proper funny 🤣 👏🏻👏🏻

Other reviews and website show info on tunnels. Low height, very narrow in places. I would advise wearing old clothes as I had to crawl on the tunnel floor at one point(optional route). Hard hats provided. It can get warm and humid so don't wear heavy clothing. Lockers provided.

Worth the trip. Very interesting place to visit. Funny tour guides who are passionate about their work.

Very interesting and educational visit and excellent value for money. Built to get water into the town without having to keep digging up the roads and town walls. Current planners civil engineers etc should take note!!!! If you're claustrophobic you may struggle. Tickets/entrance are timed, we just missed one time slot so poped over the road for a drink

I went to the Exeter Underground Passages, on Sunday 14th September 2025. There is a good, little, free museum, with realistic replica passages, if you want to get a glimpse of what the passages are like. After seeing the museum, I decided to take the tour. Adult ticket - £9. Prior to the tour there was a short informational video, which was good and useful. The tour lasted 30+ minutes. Helen did a good job guiding us, with some useful information. I thought it was worth the money. A good bit of niche history, ie getting clean water to the city, which made me reflect on conditions for most people back then. As well as the history, it was pretty exciting being down there. The passages are well lit, but they are quite small, as so a bit of an adrenaline rush, pushing the comfort boundaries 😉 I would recommend this tour.

Very nice history tour. Good to see how water was brought into a medival city. The gentleman tour guide was great

We took our three Grandsons, for Halloween experience . The weather was a bit chilly, so we did outdoor rides first. The twister, which was the main ride, they all wanted to go on, was closed. During the day, we thought it may reopen, but no. Very disappointed. Also the pirate ship and the other, similar ride, was also closed. It was not raining, as we thought, that may be why they weren't going. Later in the day, they did open, and we were able to go on. They all enjoyed the indoor play area. It was so busy, it took half an hour to get a seat. Could, definitely do with more seating. All in all, we all had a lovely day. Haunted house was fun. A free pumpkin on the way out, was a nice treat too. Would definitely recommend, for all ages.

The park has a wide range of activities and rides offering a lovely day out with our granddaughter. Helpful friendly staff and the Halloween Trick or Treat Trail added to the fun. There are plenty of covered areas if the weather takes a wet turn and a number of cafe/restaurants for a break. Food is on the expensive side but there's a reasonable selection and you can always take a picnic. I'm sure we'll be back with the grandchildren as there's plenty to do in a lovely safe and fun environment, that's easy to get to from the M5.

Arrived yesterday with my daughter and her two friends. We queued up on the log flume for around 45mins to then be rejected as they all needed an adult to ride on with them. Only three could ride this ride meaning I had to leave one child out. We have always been to crealy with no problem to fit four on the ride. The weather was great just a little tad cold. I raised this issue with a member of the team and told me nothing could be done about this. As of Halloween I paid high prices to enter the park and buy food which I feel this was not acceptable. The food needs improving for the amount of money you spend too. Apart from this we had a great day, but I think the money we spend was not worth the experience on this occasion.

I went with a few friends for their "late nights" on Halloween and yes we did rlly enjoy ourselves but because we couldn't get there any early then 5 we were only able to enjoy the park till 7 when they close. To me this doesn't feel like it should be classed as a late night, it's really lovely being at the park when it's dark it would've been nice just to have been there a bit longer

We did the Crealy Halloween event, it was clearly very busy. We arrived just before 10am and people were already in the park on rides so we knew we were in for some big queues. What we were unaware of were the extent of these massive queues. Over an hour for maximus, 40 mins for one scare maze, a hour for the scarecrow scare maze. Twister was on and off most of the day with at least a hour of queues. I have never seen it so busy and we usually come during the summer holidays. The scarecrow maze was a great idea but the amount of people going through at once really ruined the experience for us as the family infront got all the jump scares and we could see it all coming. Very underwhelmed with the younger children’s maze with 2 moving witches and some glow in the dark paint. The real issue came leaving the car park, over an hour we didn’t even move an inch it was pure chaos and staff were not interested at all in helping. Lots of the smaller rides indoors weren’t working, the floors in sooty land were sticky and not clean at all. We couldn’t put our one year old down as there was food that hadn’t been cleaned up. The larger soft play was also chaos, there were so many children in there it became quite unsafe - do you even have a limit on numbers in there ? Even the small soft play in the bit next door was so busy it didn’t feel safe. I wouldn’t ever attend another Halloween event there were 17 of us and we all left really disappointed.

We had a great time at Crealy over the summer holidays. All the staff were helpful and friendly. They were full of enthusiasm at the entrance especially Georgia in the ticket office, she was so warm and welcoming to the kids, nothing was too much trouble for her, she seemed genuinely happy to assist us even though the day that we went was a very busy day she didn’t let that phase her, she didn’t try and rush us through and didn’t come across stressed. All the staff were great on this particular day. We saw Georgia again on the way out and she even had time to stop us to make sure we had had a great day which I thought was very sweet. The theme park has rides to suit everyone, which is great when you have kids of different ages. We had a fab time.

Kids had fun, we thought there was more for young children and less for older. Queues could be better, the only two rollercoasters and the log flume took ages with two bored children. It wouldn't hurt to have something to keep kids busy in an hour's queue! Everyone else mentions the staff - while some were great and engaged, others really were not. Overall it was very expensive - especially for the time you then spend in a queue - but kids had fun.

Really beautiful place , glad we went there. I didn’t like the beach area near by but up above in Jacob’s ladder area it was so different and beautiful. Caunnaught gardens ( near by) was like a beautiful Spanish garden. So nice

Nice beach and great scenery from all around. Can get rather busy at peak times but overall great. It's even nice to take a detour through between the main carpark and Sidmouth town centre.

A beautiful place regardless of the weather, so relaxing once walking down the steps onto Jacobs Ladder beach or nearby Chit Rocks, if you prefer, you could walk further upwards to see the most amazing views or even walk around the Connaught Gardens, so peaceful whatever you decide to do, plenty of chargeable parking close by too & a great place to spend the day exploring.

We had a wonderful day in Sidmouth starting with coffee at the Clock Tower Cafe, no cake, too early. A walk along the front and lunch at Selleys Cafe which was very good. Will return, Ian, Pat & Margaret. 01/06/2019.

I love walking up Jacob's Ladder with my Partner in the evenings when we stay in Sidmouth. We walk around there every day after dinner. There are lovely gardens and pretty lit up areas to explore.

Beautiful part of sidmouth, a great little snack shop at top of first stairwell then walk up Jacob's ladder to find a wonderful restaurant...the clocktower cafe serving all sorts of wondrous food ! The view from the top is gorgeous at all times of the year come rain or shine. Finish off with a stroll through connaught gardens and the view across sidmouth beach and town.

Really nice beach, great for kids, flat sand after tide went in, good rock pools and parking wasn't far either. Spent the whole day pretty much here.

Lovely gardens even in the winter months. The views are beautiful from the top and it is a lovely spot to sit and relax in the sun. Lots of benches and clean toilets. Really enjoyed our visit.

Always loved visiting these gardens since I was very small with my grandparents and they are still as good as ever. Absolutely beautiful

Very nice area Lots and lots of benches to sit.Great views and plenty of history of the area.The walk under the cliffs from Jacobs ladder is good looking up at the sandstone cliffs are huge and you can see fossilised plant remains.

Lovely location above the coastline of west Sidmouth. Nice views of the beach. Café with outdoor seating. Beautiful flower beds and a statue of the fiddle player with an information plaque behind him. Accessed from steps down from Manor Rd Car Park. Public convenience in a great location!

Lovely gardens on the coast. Large car/coach parking nearby.

Stopped to see Jacobs Ladder and found this gem adjacent. Beautiful, peaceful gardens. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

A haven of peace and gardens. Great cafe. Busy but large range of goods
