Home / Things to do
Everything worth doing round here, from the door of your tent.
The coast path runs along the clifftops by the park. Head south for Blackpool Sands and on towards Slapton, or north towards Dartmouth and the mouth of the River Dart. Good boots, big views, plenty of benches.
A sheltered shingle bay about a mile from the park, with Blue Flag water, lifeguards in season and a beach café. Good for a morning sea swim.
A harbour town about 10 minutes away by car, with boats, castles, independent shops and harbour-side pubs. Book dinner at Kendricks, our restaurant in town.
Our skies are dark enough for proper stargazing. Pick a clear night with little or no moon, let your eyes adjust for 20 minutes, and look out over the sea. The best of it is from the hot tub at Enid’s Place.
