One of my favourite places to spend a day out is Exmoor National Park. Even though it is right on our doorstep here at Newberry Valley I don't get out there often enough, but I really wouldn't want you to miss out on a great day trip, so I thought it was worth creating a Touring Route for you. Approximate driving time: 4–5 hours (allow a full day with stops) Distance: Around 65 miles While many visitors head straight for the famous beauty spots, this route takes you through some of Exmoor's quieter corners, where you'll discover hidden valleys, tiny villages, ancient woodlands and spectacular views. Pack a picnic, bring your camera and don't forget the binoculars as you never know when you might spot red deer soaring buzzards or even Exmoor ponies. Stop 1: Landacre Bridge Leave Newberry Valley and make your way towards Withypool. Just before the village, you'll find Landacre Bridge, one of Exmoor's prettiest medieval bridges spanning the River Barle. It's wonderfully peaceful here. Children love paddling in the shallow water during summer (when conditions are safe), while adults can simply enjoy the silence and the beautiful riverside setting. Perfect for morning coffee, family photos and wildlife spotting Stop 2: Withypool A traditional Exmoor village that feels wonderfully untouched. Pop into the village shop for ice creams or enjoy a drink at the Royal Oak if you fancy an early lunch. If you have younger children, there's plenty of space beside the river to explore. Stop 3: Tarr Steps Follow the quiet roads through the valley to one of Exmoor's oldest treasures. Tarr Steps is believed to be over 3,000 years old and is the longest clapper bridge in Britain. The woodland walk beside the River Barle is beautiful in summer, offering plenty of shade on warmer days. Children love crossing the huge stone slabs and searching for fish in the river below. Picnic Stop: Tarr Steps Woodland This is the perfect place to unpack a picnic. There are grassy areas beside the river, lots of butterflies in summer and plenty of places for children to explore safely while parents relax. Stop 4: Winsford Hill Leave the valley behind and climb onto the open moor. This is where Exmoor begins to feel truly wild. Keep your eyes open for Exmoor ponies and also for: Red deer, Buzzards, Kestrels. The views stretch for miles and, even in summer, it's often wonderfully quiet. Stop 5: Exford One of Exmoor's prettiest villages. The green is perfect for children to burn off a little energy in the play area while parents enjoy an ice cream or afternoon tea. The white cottages, old bridge and peaceful atmosphere make this one of those places that feels unchanged for generations. Stop 6: Simonsbath Right in the heart of Exmoor. This tiny village is often missed by visitors but makes an ideal stop for refreshments. The surrounding countryside is breathtaking and there are several gentle riverside walks if you fancy stretching your legs. Scenic Drive Home Enjoy the fabulous drive back to Newberry Valley following the B3358 through the rolling Exmoor countryside before joining the A399 back to the village. Or head over the top of the moors again to drop down towards Barbrook and the A39. Either way it's a lovely end to a spectacular day. Newberry Valley Top Tips ✔ Leave early to enjoy the quieter roads. ✔ Bring a picnic blanket. ✔ Mobile signal can be limited on Exmoor - that's all part of its charm! ✔ Take binoculars if you have them. ✔ Please leave gates as you find them and take your litter home. ✔ Drive slowly - you'll be sharing the roads with sheep, ponies, cyclists and sometimes red deer. A little challenge... See if your family can spot: □ An Exmoor pony □ A buzzard □ A red deer □ A stone bridge □ A river with stepping stones □ A butterfly □ A sheep with black faces Have a wonderful day exploring one of England's most beautiful national parks and do take some photos to send to us... Sometimes the best memories are made on the roads less travelled. Join us at Newberry Valley Park, perfectly nestled on the edge of the lovely seaside village of Combe Martin. Book now to secure your spot and immerse yourself in the delights North Devon & Exmoor has to offer you!

When I wrote a previous blog post about the canine capers at Newberry Valley, our lovely German Shepherd Luna was still with us. Some of you may remember her sitting proudly in the farmhouse window, quietly watching campers wander past, picnic packed, and dogs in tow, or sandy feet and paddleboards after a morning on the beach. She considered it her daily duty to supervise park life, although we suspect she was mostly hoping someone might stop for a fuss. These days, the role has been enthusiastically taken over by our one-year-old adolescent, Remy, who prefers to keep watch from the garden gate. Unlike Luna’s calm and dignified approach, Remy’s style is rather more energetic and involves far more excitement whenever anyone so much as walks past with a potential new playmate. Since we arrived here 20 years ago now, we have had a plethora of gorgeous mutts as family pets. Here are just a few piccies of some of them... Luna & Diesel (top row L to R), Remy, Teyha and Taz (bottom row L to R). Each one holds a special place in our hearts. Our lovely pooches But this post isn’t just about our dogs. We want to celebrate all the four-legged visitors who’ve holidayed here over the years. The excitable explorers, the scent sniffers, the expert treat negotiators and, of course, the lazy loungers, champions of afternoon naps outside caravans, campervans and tents. Looking back through some of the photos guests have kindly shared with us over the seasons, it struck us just how much dogs become an integral part of the park. Whether they’re padding along the woodland paths, stretched out in the sunshine beside a touring pitch, or peering curiously from a shepherd’s hut doorway, they somehow make camping life feel even more relaxed, joyful, and connected to nature. Your lovely pooches If your own four-legged camping companion is a happy dog when they have stayed with us, we always love seeing your photos and adventures around the park. Do email them to us or pop them on our social media pages. And if you’re planning your next North Devon escape, dogs are very welcome here. So don’t leave them whining in the kennels… plan your relaxing break with your pooch today.

At Newberry Valley, we aim to help you as much as possible, so we've taken the guesswork out of your family trip with this useful itinerary to keep the whole family happy. Day One Arrive at Newberry Valley Park and set up camp for the week. If the kids are more of a hindrance than a help during the setup process, send them off to the play park to make new friends, and then later walk to Combe Martin for an afternoon of beach fun.   Day Two Head to Hele Beach or Ilfracombe Watersports Hub for pre-booked coasteering / SUP / kayaking activities, and then spend the late afternoon in Ilfracombe Town, browsing the shops, arcades, and enjoying crazy golf, bouncy castles and play areas.   Day Three Get up and out for a full theme park day. Choose The Milky Way, enjoying shows, rides, play and indoor & outdoor activities (collect a return voucher for your next visit.) For a closer alternative option, visit the Wildlife and Dinosaur Park for animals galore and soft play too.   Day Four Explore the Valley of the Rocks for a while, then park up in Lynton and take the coast path down to Lynmouth for a wander, then catch the Cliff Railway back up again. Make the most of the scenic route home and stop off for a cream tea at the National Trust cafe at Watersmeet.   Day Five Today is a beach day at Woolacombe for sun, sand and sea, with options for surf hire or lessons, or horse riding. On a Wednesday evening, you can even stop for the sheepdog & falconry show on the way home   Day Six Get your adrenaline fix at Keypitts Off Road Adventures in the morning. Recover your energies with an afternoon boat trip departing from Ilfracombe - there's a variety of options available from the harbour. Then finish the day with fun at the slip 'n' slide   Day Seven Get your animal fix today at The Big Sheep with plenty to entertain, then go for some retail therapy at Affinity shopping centre close by, or choose to finish your holiday with water fun at the Ultimate Adventure Centre.   Day Eight Pack up after an action-packed week, and if time allows, take the scenic route home with a drive or even a walk over Exmoor. To make the most of your holidays, it's a good idea to book at least a couple of days in advance for each activity. Before you do, many of these activity providers offer discounts to Newberry Valley Park customers! Once you've booked your pitch or hut, we'll send you the access details to our site app, where you will find the discount details. Happy memories are what our business is all about at Newberry Valley. And the most important part of our day is creating the ideal environment for you and your family to enjoy those special holiday moments together. And if you made use of this itinerary on your holiday, let us know how you got on! We’d love to hear about what worked for you, as well as what you’d include next time!
