Newberry Castle: Iron Age Hillfort. Credit Johnmoore.co.uk Long before this peaceful valley welcomed visitors, the land was known simply as Newberry Farm, a sheltered farmstead set in a valley running down to the sea on the rugged North Devon coast. But the story of Newberry Farm reaches back far beyond the more recent farming history of the valley. High on the ridge above sits Newberry Castle, an Iron Age hillfort dating from around 700 BC. From this commanding position, people could watch the coastline and the valley below. Although the site is clearly a defensive enclosure, few artefacts have ever been found there, leading historians to believe that the hillfort may have served mainly as a temporary place of refuge for the farming communities living in valleys like that of Newberry Farm. Smugglers on the North Coast For centuries the valley itself remained agricultural land centred on Newberry Farm, with fields and tracks leading down towards the small sheltered cove of Newberry Beach. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, that secluded beach became part of a very different chapter in the valley’s story — smuggling. Along this stretch of coastline, smugglers were often referred to locally as “The Gentlemen.” Under the cover of darkness, small boats would land goods such as French brandy, gin, tea, silk and tobacco in hidden coves like Newberry Beach, avoiding the heavy taxes imposed by the Crown. Smuggling here was rarely the work of a few rogue sailors. It often involved entire communities, from fishermen landing goods on the beach to farmers storing them inland. Valleys like the one surrounding Newberry Farm provided the perfect route to move contraband quietly away from the shore. Barrels and crates would be carried along cliff paths and hidden tracks up through the valley, where goods could be concealed in barns, outhouses or haystacks before being transported onward to markets such as Barnstaple. Boatbuilding on the Beach Newberry Beach also had a more legitimate maritime role. In the Victorian era, small boats were built and repaired on the beach, and wooden hobblers posts once stood there to moor coastal vessels. By around 1825, the golden age of smuggling began to fade. The establishment of the Coastguard service and the reduction of import taxes made the illegal trade far less profitable. A Landscape That Remembers View of the site from the meadow, looking down the valley to the sea Today, the valley around Newberry Farm is quiet again. But the landscape still carries memories of its long history - from the Iron Age hillfort watching over the valley, to the paths that once carried barrels of contraband inland. It’s a reminder that the peaceful valley we see today has been part of local life, trade and survival for thousands of years. Come, stay with us, and experience the joys of our fantastic 5-star campsite. Book your getaway now. We can't wait to welcome you!

Strong Signal. Peaceful Setting. No Compromises. Not the prettiest addition... but possibly the most useful 😉 No, they’re not modern sculptures. And no, we haven’t taken up abstract art installation over winter. They’re part of our brand-new upgraded WiFi system. Whether you need to join a Zoom call before heading out for a coastal walk, upload photos from the beach, watch your favourite series after a long day exploring North Devon, or simply FaceTime family, you’ll have a reliable, upgraded connection across the park. Because in 2026, good internet isn’t a luxury. It’s part of feeling comfortable and at ease on holiday. Why We’ve Invested in a New System This decision wasn’t theoretical. I recently stayed at a well-known national hotel chain for a few nights with promises of “ultimate WiFi.” It was anything but. In my room, I couldn’t get my laptop to function online at all. Emails wouldn’t load. Pages wouldn’t open. Work simply wasn’t possible. Even basic browsing became an exercise in frustration. And it struck me that it’s something we absolutely must get right. Because whether you’re: Catching up on a few emails from your awning Taking an important business call Letting the children stream a programme on a rainy afternoon Or keeping in touch with family back home You shouldn’t have to hunt for a signal or sit buffering. You should be able to relax, knowing it just works. Yes… There Are a Few More Poles If you visit this season, you’ll notice a few new poles standing quietly around the park. They may not win any beauty contests. They don’t quite blend in with the ancient oaks or rolling green fields. But they are there for a reason. .. to deliver consistent, reliable coverage across the site, wherever you’re pitched. And while we’ll always prioritise the natural beauty of Newberry Valley, the birdsong in the mornings, the soft light over the lake, the calm that settles in at dusk, we also recognise that modern comfort includes staying connected when you need to. Here, you don’t have to choose between woodland and bandwidth. You can have both. And as we step into this new season, we feel incredibly proud, not just of how far the park has come, but of the community of guests who have made it what it is. We can’t wait to welcome familiar faces back, and to greet new guests discovering Newberry Valley for the first time. Here’s to fresh air, peaceful evenings, and full signal bars.

A little polish, a lot of care, and the odd bucket of elbow grease With only a short while until we reopen, there's a steady flow of activity going on here at Newberry Valley. This is the part you don’t see, but hopefully feel when you arrive, kettle (or bottle of wine!) in hand, ready to relax. Preparing the park for a new season is a bit like waking a sleeping giant after a long hibernation. There’s cleaning, checking, testing… and plenty of grunting and groaning too, as well as the occasional moment of “will we be ready in time?” (Yes, we will.) A Deep Clean from Top to Toe Because sparkling loos don’t clean themselves Before the first caravan rolls in, every facility gets a thorough deep clean, and we mean thorough . From floors and tiles to doors, showers, and every hook and handle in between, it’s all scrubbed, polished, and made guest-ready. It’s not glamorous work, but it’s deeply satisfying. There’s something very comforting about standing back at the end of the day, admiring a spotless wash block and thinking, yes… that’s how it should be. Water Safety: The Not-So-Exciting but Very Important Bit Legionella testing and peace of mind Behind the scenes, we carry out full legionella testing. It’s one of those jobs you’ll (thankfully) never notice, but it’s vital for keeping everyone safe. Every tap, shower, and water system is checked, flushed, and monitored so that when you turn on the hot tap after a long journey, it’s just comfort that flows, not worries. Fire Safety Checks Prepared for everything… except burnt sausages All fire extinguishers are tested and serviced, ensuring they’re ready should they ever be needed. It’s another one of those jobs that sits firmly in the background, reassuring, responsible, and essential. Fire bells checked and fire drill practised. Thankfully, it's rarely called into action, and we wouldn't want it any other way. Electrical Safety Across the Park Because peace of mind should come as standard Our electrical safety checks cover hook-up points, systems, and infrastructure across the park. Everything is inspected and tested so you can plug in, put the kettle on, and settle into holiday mode without a second thought. It’s all part of making sure your stay feels effortless, even though a lot of effort goes into it beforehand. The Little Jobs That Add Up Fences fixed, paths checked, hedges tamed (mostly) Alongside the official checks and tests, winter is full of smaller tasks: repairing fences, tidying paths, checking signage, and keeping the grounds in good shape. Nature has a habit of doing its own thing over winter, and we gently nudge it back into balance come spring. All the while, the woodland ticks along quietly, the lake reflects the changing sky, and we’re reminded why we love this place so much. If you’re already dreaming of spring mornings and peaceful evenings by the lake, now’s the perfect time to start planning your next stay. We’ll be ready and waiting. Just so you know we re-open on 20th March 2026... save the date!
