For Families
House of Marbles is a great way to keep kids of all ages entertained for an hour or two but when you’ve finished here where do you go next? Here are our top suggestions:
Haytor Rock on Dartmoor
This is a great opportunity to see wild Dartmoor Ponies in their natural environment. Dartmoor National Park Visitor Centre can also be found at this site.
Canonteign Falls or Becky Falls near Bovey Tracey
A great way to stretch those legs and take in some of the stunning natural water features of Dartmoor while on a nature trail at one of these wonderful sites.
Pennywell Farm near Buckfastleigh
A lovely farm with lots of daily events including Pig Racing, and activities such as bottle-feeding lambs. We think kids will love the opportunity to cuddle Tea-Cup pigs, ducklings, and guinea pigs here!
River Dart Country Park near Ashburton
A camping site which can also be accessed in the day with lots to do such as tree-top adventures and canoeing.
Highly recommended
If you don’t mind travelling a bit further afield then we also highly recommend
Paignton Zoo Babbacombe Model Village Woodlands Family Theme Park
Or a trip to one of Devon’s fantastic beaches. There are many good sites you can check for further ideas, including Dayoutwiththekids.co.uk.
