hi everyone...    looking to to devon for summer holiday this year..

having looked around the net at so many places in devon still not sure where to go

can anyone give any advice or suggestions where to go.... bearing in mind we have

two 10years old boys to entertain on sunny ( hopefully ) lol  and rainy days

thanks in advance.  nites and poll     ( nottingham )

thanks for the reply...   yes sorry forgot to say camping...  

will take a look at the sites mentioned    thanks for your time

Try Cofton Country Holiday Park in South Devon.

It has an outdoor pool, games room, a pub and a chippy on site, close to Dawlish Waren beaches. I believe it has a fishing pond too.

Lovely site even in winter when most of the facilities were closed.

I agree with Ali.  In the north you have beautiful sweeping beaches but it can be a bit bleak if the weather is pants.

Tourism is much more geared up down South.  I would say River Dart is perfect if you have active kids who like getting messy outdoors.  Also in an ideal spot for touring the whole of the South Coast, including Dartmouth.

To add to Ali's suggestions you also have;

Splash Park/water park atQuay West/ Goodrington Sands (Paignton)  Crealy Adventure Park (Exeter),  The steam railway which runs from Buckfastleigh,  Pennywell Farm (petting Zoo/friendly farm) also at Buckfastleigh.  Babbacombe Model Village (Torquay) if you want a bit of history - Castle Drogo (Dartmoor) or Powderham Castle (nr Dawlish), Powderham do medieval jousting events in the school holidays.  So lots to do!!

We spent a week at Riverside Caravan & Camping Park at South Molton, last year with a 15 year old boy, 3 and 7 year old girls. There is a lake, river to play in, brilliant play park. On site cafe. Brill location for seeing Devon.

Have a good time when you go, and enjoy where you stay.

THANKS SO MUCH.......
