We have so much to do and see in Woolacombe, places to visit, things to do and so many ways to enjoy the various attractions. From zoo to farm, cove to castle, woodland forest to wide open beach, there’s no end of sights and adventures to stumble into. For anyone who’s explored the area, it won’t be a surprise that it’s home to famous film locations. If you’re a fan of one of the many period dramas filmed here, you’ll be thrilled to spot locations from the scenes you love, and maybe even re-enact them!
National Trust properties are also around in abundance, with landscape gardens, various monuments and quaint other-worldly villages, it’s easy to step back in time and get lost in the folklore and magic of the seascapes and surrounding greenery. There’s bucket-loads of choice when it comes to places to visit in and around Woolacombe.
Different times of the year bring different events, such as festivals and fairs, but don’t forget all of the experiences on offer throughout the seasons at our Parks. The worry of rain shouldn’t ever stop you either, as there’s still lots to do when the weather is less than cheerful. Plus, no one was ever too unhappy to have to take shelter in a charming village pub!
Devon boasts some of the most memorable and unspoiled beaches in the UK. From shell-full shores to miles of golden sand, pebble ridges to world-class surf and amazing sand dunes as far as the eye can see. Part #1 of our beach guide covers the Woolacombe area.
When the sun is shining and the skies are blue, we have big smiles on our faces and Woolacombe Beach lovingly calls us to descend upon its golden sands. We are in Devon though and we don’t always get what we wish for, sometimes it’s wet and windy and we must change our plans.
We have so many all-weather things to do for you and your family. We’re a top destination come rain or shine, of course, so your holiday will never be ruined if the heavens do open!
We’ve put our pools at the very heart of our Devon Holiday Parks so you can splash around every single day of your holiday, on any of our Parks. Our indoor pools are open from 8am to 9pm each day, all season long. That’s what holidays are all about, isn’t it?
We may be biased but our breathtaking North Devon coastline is nothing but spectacular, and here in Woolacombe the golden beaches are at their very best. Rolling surf, magnificent cliffs and proud headlands all alongside the softest sand and the scent of salty sea spray.
Why do we have Bank Holidays?
Sir John Lubbock, first Baron of Avebury, studied ants and tried to teach his poodles how to read. He was also a scientific writer, banker and politician. In 1871 he drafted the Bank Holiday Bill, which created our first Bank Holidays, when it became law.
The Easter holidays are here, the skies are already blue in North Devon and, despite the frosty mornings, the first hints of a long and warm Summer are in the air. Our Holiday Parks are now all open and we’re enjoying the Spring season.
When is Easter? Easter Sunday is late in 2019, falling on 21st April.
The aquatic action really shifts up another gear thanks to two big water slides coming to Twitchen House in time for Easter 2019. Just one of the ways our Devon holiday parks will bring even more great value to family breaks.
It can sometimes be difficult to keep little people engaged when on holiday. After all, us parents are an embarrassing bunch who would rather just sit around on the beach snacking and chatting. Where’s the fun in that?
To keep those little faces smiling, here are four of Devon’s best children’s events activities this Summer.

The time is nearly upon us to don our wellies, put feathers in our hair and dance in fields until the sun comes up. Festival season in the UK is what we live for. But who ever said that this hedonistic British past time was only for the dedicated party goers? Here are our pick of the bunch of family-friendly festivals up and down the country.
As the days get brighter and nights get shorter, the opportunity to kick off your shoes and enjoy the great outdoors becomes higher. Wild swimming is a great way to get the adrenaline pumping and to get some exercise. Not to mention to explore new places. And best of all? It needn’t cost a penny!
