The gentle rush of a Devon stream filters through the hedgerows at Lickham Bottom, where morning mist clings to the valley floor and wood smoke drifts lazily across traditional grass pitches. This is camping as it used to be—no frills, no fanfare, just you and the South West countryside finding a comfortable rhythm together.

Perfect for those who prefer their camping uncomplicated, this site welcomes tents, campervans and caravans into a peaceful Devon valley setting. The surrounding landscape offers that quintessential patchwork of fields and woodland that makes this corner of England so quietly appealing, with country lanes beckoning walkers and cyclists to explore at their own pace.

Essential facilities keep things simple—clean toilets and showers provide what you need without overwhelming the rural setting. Check about campfires when you arrive; there's nothing quite like an evening gathered around flickering flames after a day exploring Devon's lanes. The atmosphere here is refreshingly laid-back, attracting campers who appreciate space, tranquillity, and the kind of escape where the loudest sound might just be birdsong.

Wellington Monument walk

Climbs steadily through National Trust woodland to the impressive Wellington Monument obelisk on the Blackdown Hills. The ascent is moderate but sustained, making it less suitable for buggies and younger children, though older kids who enjoy a challenge will appreciate the panoramic Somerset views from the top. Dogs welcome on leads through the estate. Worth it for the striking 175-foot monument and sweeping countryside vistas across three counties from the summit.

Herepath Trail - Churchstanton

Follows an ancient trackway through rolling Devon-Somerset countryside with moderate gradients and some steeper sections on bridleway paths. Expect muddy stretches in wet weather making it challenging for buggies, though manageable for older children comfortable with uneven terrain. Dogs welcome on this historic route. Worth it for the sense of walking in the footsteps of medieval traders and the peaceful, less-trodden farmland views across the Blackdown Hills.

Uffculme Village Trail

Loops through this mid-Devon village on mostly flat, paved surfaces with gentle inclines around the edges. Perfect for families with buggies and young children wanting a short, easy outing. Dogs welcome throughout. Connects key village landmarks including the old mill, church, and historic buildings – ideal for combining fresh air with a bit of local heritage spotting without venturing into proper countryside.
