Around and About

There are many activities within a short distance of the site. To the north are the villages of Woolacombe (with its blue flag beach, Ilfracombe and Combe Martin; to the east is Barnstaple and to the south Bideford, Westward Ho! and Clovelly; to the west is Braunton, Staunton and Croyde. Around these areas as you would expect are numerous attractions comprising - farm parks, wildlife parks, castle, gardens, swimming pools, horse riding, gold courses, fishing lakes and not forgetting the beaches and surfing!

Across the road from Chivenor Caravan Park is the Tarka Trail. This is a 180 mile recreational route of farmland, moorland and rugged coastline. It traces the journey of Henry Williamson's famous 'Tarka the Otter'. The trail follows cycleways, footpaths and quiet country lanes. Parts can be cycled or walked (or both), so bring your bikes and walking boots. Bicycles can be hired from various locations along the route and in Braunton.

The park is also ideally placed to visit the Unesco World Biosphere Reserve at Braunton Burrows. This area is the first of its type in the country, and covers 6km along the shore and 2km inland. The Burrows is renowed for its diversity and abundance plants. In this area is the Great Field of Braunton Marsh which is an example of medieval open field farming. The 142ha was originally farmed communally in unfenced strips.

If you want to travel a little further afield - how about Lundy island. This is an island of outstanding natural beauty about 11 miles off the coast of North Devon. The MS Oldenburg takes both day and staying visitors from both Bideford and Ilfracombe.

If all this is too energetic for you, then come and just relax on our holiday park and soak up the atmosphere in one of the many country pubs; two of which are only 15 minutes walk away from the site.
