The morning sun catches the old barn timbers just as the kettle starts to whistle — there's something genuinely restful about waking up somewhere that's found a second life.

Tumbledown Barn offers both camping pods and guest house rooms, so it suits couples after a proper bed, small families wanting the camping feel with a roof overhead, or anyone exploring this corner of the UK who fancies something between canvas and hotel. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're travelling with four legs. The year-round opening means it works for a winter escape as much as a summer break.

Facilities aren't heavily detailed, so expect a simpler, more traditional setup — check what's included when you book. Campfires are a maybe rather than a guarantee, so ask on arrival if you're hoping for an evening by the flames. The vibe feels unhurried and low-key, the sort of place that doesn't shout about itself but delivers a decent night's sleep and a friendly welcome. Not flashy, just solid.

Little Dart Ridge & Valley Walk

Explores wooded valleys and open ridgeline between Exmoor's fringes and the Little Dart River, mixing gentle riverside sections with moderate climbs onto the ridge. Terrain varies from grassy paths to potentially muddy woodland tracks—fine for older children and confident walkers, but steep sections and stiles make it tricky for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Rewards you with sweeping Devon countryside views and lovely river scenery, plus varied habitats for wildlife spotting.

Exe Valley Way

Follows the River Exe for roughly 50 miles from Exmoor's uplands down to Exeter, mixing gentle riverside paths with occasional climbs through Devon's rolling farmland. Terrain varies from flat valley sections to moderate hills, making it best tackled in stages rather than all at once. Families can enjoy shorter stretches near Tiverton or Bampton where it's mostly level, though full-length attempts aren't suitable for buggies or very young children. Dogs welcome throughout. Rewards you with class

Two Moors Way

Stretches 103 miles from Ivybridge on Dartmoor to Lynmouth on the Exmoor coast, crossing two distinct moorland landscapes with significant elevation changes and exposed sections. Challenging terrain with steep climbs, boggy patches, and remote stretches makes this unsuitable for young children or buggies—experienced walkers only. Dogs welcome but must be controlled around grazing livestock, particularly during lambing season. Worth tackling for dramatic granite tors, ancient woodlands, and sweep
