Discover Devon's idyllic playground - packed with action for all the family. Try something new, enjoy something old - challenge the kids' boundaries and stretch their minds. You'll return home with great memories of all you've done together.

Devon is terrific for family activities: a playground of beaches and superb wild countryside plus England's first natural World Heritage Site.

Go walking in Devon - there's no better place to take kids for a fascinating exploration of the countryside. With so much to see, every stroll turns into a journey of adventure.

Whether your children are setting out on their first, wobbly ride or are mad downhill racers, cycling in Devon is fantastic, with plenty of traffic-free trails and quiet lanes. Horse-riding in Devon is great too, for beginners and pony-trekking.
