Knights Farm Loop

November 15, 2020November 19, 2020 / devondaze / Leave a comment

This walk is a really decent circular route with fantastic views in every direction. It's probably around 6km but there are options for making it longer. Whilst the paths the whole way round would be OK for a big-tyred buggy, there are stiles and gates that would make this hard work. Start at the fabulous … Continue reading Knights Farm Loop

Paddle and Play in Poppleford

July 13, 2019August 10, 2020 / devondaze / Leave a comment

The River Otter is definitely on our leader board because it has just so many perfect paddling places! This peach of a spot in Newton Poppleford ticks a lot of 'summer days' boxes. Parking is near to the river and free. There are 2 car parks on Back Lane in Newton Poppleford. One close to … Continue reading Paddle and Play in Poppleford

Snowdrops around Exeter

February 13, 2019 / devondaze / Leave a comment

On all of my recent walks lately, I've been thrilled to see little signs of spring. There is so much more wildlife around, the bird song is noticeably more varied and cheerier than it was, and there are pretty little flowers decorating the hedgerows! Snowdrops have arrived and shown us that lighter days and warmer … Continue reading Snowdrops around Exeter

RSPB Pond Dipping and Tractor Ride – Aylesbeare

July 25, 2016July 14, 2017 / devondaze / 1 Comment

We booked onto this trip after seeing it advertised as part of the Heath Week celebrations in East Devon. The (free) car park and meeting point was easy to find following the directions on the booking information and, due to our tardiness we boarded the tractor trailer straight away. The ride was bumpy but extremely … Continue reading RSPB Pond Dipping and Tractor Ride – Aylesbeare

As well as fantastic space to run around, play ball games, walk the … Continue reading The Maer, Exmouth.

Located just outside the East Devon village of Otterton, Ladram has it’s own shingle beach and a host of activities and facilities. You have to pay to park/enter but can then visit the beach, amazing … Continue reading Ladram Bay

Pecorama

April 23, 2016August 10, 2017 / devondaze / 2 Comments

https://www.pecorama.co.uk/ Pecorama in Beer is a great place, more than worth the drive from Exeter. Whilst it’s not a cheap day out, it is good value for money, and you can save a little by booking online in advance. There is ample free parking, though the overflow spaces are just in a field.  There’s several … Continue reading Pecorama
