A few weeks ago we visited East Devon for a glamping weekend. It’s a part of our home county that we’ve not explored much so it was a great opportunity to check out the local family attractions. And an invite to visit World of Country Life at Exmouth was too good to refuse. World of…
I love seeing the delight on our girls’ faces when they meet farm animals. They take such pleasure in giving cuddles to domesticated creatures which is something you can take for granted when you reach a certain age. However, last weekend I shared in a delicious piece of their excitement when I met this little…
Hurray! The Easter school holidays have begun in many areas of the UK and we’ve already started our spring break adventures. Last weekend Devon’s Top Attractions invited us to see what was going on at some of our local family attractions during Easter in Devon starting with meeting the Easter Bunny at Woodlands Family Theme…
Animal days out are always a hit with children. But how often do you have the chance to get up close and personal with native British wildlife in their natural habitat? In the heart of rural East Devon is Wildwood Escot – a conservation and education park that offers you close encounters with red squirrels, otters…

We’ve now been living in Devon, England, for just over a year. The experience of exploring the nooks, crannies and cities of the South West has been wonderful for me and my young family. Sharing these adventures has definitely enriched my blog and I’m grateful for it. Another bonus of moving somewhere new and putting…
We’re not short of coastline to wander here in the South West of England. However finding a Devon coastal walk that’s easy for kids can be a bit of a challenge, especially as ours are both pre-schoolers. There always seems to be a sheer cliff for them to career towards. Or they get bored of stomping though…
Tucked away in the Surrey Hills is a place that reminds me of Narnia. The Sculpture Park is the world’s largest all year sculpture park with more than 600 works of art nestled within 10 acres of wooded valley. We discovered it while staying at Bel & The Dragon which is just across the road…
