The soft rustle of meadow grasses and the distant call of Devon farmland birds greet you at this peaceful site, where morning mist often clings to the fields before the sun breaks through. Porte Meadow offers that increasingly rare commodity: proper countryside quiet, wrapped in the gentle rolling landscape that makes this corner of South West England so restorative.

This is a straightforward spot for campers, caravanners and campervan tourers seeking simplicity over bells and whistles. Whether you're exploring Devon's market towns, walking ancient pathways, or simply wanting to disconnect from the everyday, the meadow setting provides an unhurried base with easy access to the county's varied attractions.

Facilities are kept refreshingly simple with showers and toilets serving the pitches. The campfire policy varies, so it's worth checking when you arrive if you're hoping for an evening around the flames. The overall atmosphere is unfussy and genuine—just you, your tent or van, and the kind of tranquil meadow camping that lets you actually hear yourself think.

Winford Valley walk at Arlington Court, Arlington Court

Dogs welcome on leads. A lovely short escape into ancient oak woodland with minimal elevation gain, perfect for a leisurely hour exploring Arlington's quieter corners away from the

South West Coast Path (Section 3: Lynmouth to Combe Martin)

Follows Devon's dramatic coastline with steep, challenging ascents and descents through wooded valleys and exposed clifftops—definitely not suitable for buggies or young children. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock and cliff edges. Rewards effort with stunning views across the Bristol Channel, remote beaches, and wild moorland descending to the sea.
