There are so many things to do in Devon and Forest Glade is an ideal centre for a holiday in the countryside, touring the West Country or exploring rural Devon.  Whether you’re looking for places to explore, beaches, family attractions, moorland or somewhere historic Devon has much to offer.

Numerous lanes, little changed over the years, wind their way through the beautiful countryside.  You will see why the Blackdown Hills is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

For those who wish to leave their cars behind there are some lovely walks to choose from, both in the forest and out into the surrounding countryside, with views across the Culm Valley towards Exmoor, Dartmoor and the East Devon coast.

Because of its unique position Forest Glade guests have easy access to the whole of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, including Exmouth with its two miles of sandy beaches to Lyme Regis with its famous harbour.  North Devon, Barnstaple and Minehead are within easy reach, as is South Devon, Somerset and parts of Cornwall.
