Family Walks in Devon

Discover Devon on foot - there's no better place to take kids for a fascinating exploration of the countryside. With so much to see, every family walk in Devon turns into a journey of adventure.

As any parent will tell you, kids hate long, straight paths: "Boring!" So take them up and down Devon's alluring winding paths, where you'll find something new and exciting around every corner. Climb to daring heights on cliffs, with seabirds soaring alongside.

Wander through meadows alive with flowers and butterflies, then plunge into shady woods and dabble in a sparkling brook. With such variety to investigate, they'll find it impossible to be bored.

No family walk in Devon is complete without curiosities and treats, and you won't need to look far to find them. Try picnicking on the beach, complete with sandcastle, spotting new birds, eating a cone of Devon's glorious icecream or a trip on a ferry. Irresistible!

Look at a good map of Devon and you will find footpaths everywhere, but for further inspiration we have plenty of guidance on family walks in Devon, circular or one-way, in our database.
