Why families love Devon

Devon truly shines for family holidays, boasting a superb mix of sandy beaches perfect for sandcastles and rock pooling, alongside vast national parks ideal for hiking and exploring. Countless family attractions, from animal parks to historic sites, ensure every day brings new excitement. Its diverse landscapes mean there's always something to suit different moods and energy levels, making it easy to create cherished memories together.

Things to do with the kids

  • Explore the sandy beaches and hidden coves of the English Riviera or North Devon for swimming, surfing, and building sandcastles.
  • Discover Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks with family-friendly walks, pony trekking, and wildlife spotting opportunities.
  • Visit popular family attractions like zoos, aquariums, or adventure parks (e.g., Paignton Zoo, National Marine Aquarium).
  • Step back in time at historic castles or enjoy steam railway experiences, offering engaging learning for all ages.
  • Enjoy watersports such as kayaking or paddleboarding in sheltered bays, suitable for older children and teens.

Family travel tips for Devon

  • A car is highly recommended for exploring Devon's diverse attractions, especially if staying in more rural areas. Public transport can be limited.
  • Be prepared for all weathers! Pack layers, waterproofs, sturdy shoes for exploring, and beach gear. Sun cream is essential even on cloudy days.
  • For classic seaside fun, look at the English Riviera (Torquay, Paignton, Brixham). North Devon offers wilder beaches and surf, while Dartmoor is perfect for nature lovers.
  • Many larger attractions and coastal towns offer good accessibility, but rural paths and some older buildings may be less so. Always check specific venue details.
