  Looking for advice from you seasoned travellers as i havent  been on holiday in this country since childhood. We fancy going to either south devon of east cornwall but not to sure on the areas our children are 7 ,10 and 12 . We would like to be on the coast line ideally walking distance from a beach .The elder 2 are into watersports and the youngest horse riding. Also if you have any gems of campsites that would be great. We only want a basic site with showers and toilets really dont fancy big commercial sites. Thanks

Hi - the area I live is lovely (Chudleigh) - very varied countryside, easy access to the moors (great riding!) but the beaches are not so marvellous -

The South Hams are just beautiful - fantastic beaches, lovely countryside - anywhere around Kingsbridge you can't go far wrong, Bigbury is lovely!  The CCC have some really nice sites in the area - Slapton for example.   

East Cornwall - the Looe area is really nice, we always camp at West Wayland when that way - again the countryside is pretty - or further down the Helford area is beautiful!

TOO much choice.... ?   Jackie

My caravan is just down the road from Jakks at Holmans Wood.  Great forest walks right on your doorstep and easy to get to the coast.  Also Exeter and Plymouth if the weather is inclement and Dartmoor for good walking.

Well run site, nothing but a huge playing field, toilets and showers and not yobby.  The tents are pitched in the meadow which is beautiful with a stream at the bottom and a large number of bunnies!
