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…
Earlier this month we were invited to stay at Bath Mill Lodge Retreat just outside Bath in Somerset. It was the perfect base to explore this UNESCO city. On the last day of our weekend it was the Bath Half Marathon which meant it was impossible to continue sightseeing in the heart of the city….

Since moving to Devon just over a year ago we’ve been lucky to be invited to experience Crealy Great Adventure Park on a number of occasions. We’ve grown extremely fond of the South West’s number one family attraction and think other families visiting the area will enjoy it too. Here’s why: 7 reasons why families…
A year ago we visited our first National Trust property for years and haven’t looked back. The combination of children’s treasure trails, wide open spaces and houses packed full of curiosities has been a winning one as our girls start to explore the world around them. At Christmas we couldn’t resist a visit to the…
