Fun days out with the children

Taking the children on holiday, finding activities that are suitable, attractions they will enjoy, a safe and fun place to stay….these are all issues every parent faces.

But here on Dartmoor there are farms where the little ones can help collect eggs, pet baby animals and enjoy being hands on with animals they’d not normally come across. There is unlimited space for the children to run around, woods to explore, rocks for a mini-climb, streams to splash in and wild ponies with their foals to watch, entranced.

Maybe you want to experience life in Victorian times in a working museum, visit the miniature ponies, take a trip on a steam train, or explore a castle; whatever your requirements, we have something for all the family on Dartmoor.

Child friendly hotels and even child friendly camping where baby sitting is on offer, experienced play leaders can amuse the kids in specialised areas, with organised games and lots of fun to help them run off their excess energy and make new friends.

We have Activity Providers who specialise in children’s activities, everything from archery, climbing, riding to gorge scrambling! Above all we hope that your trip to Dartmoor is fun, enjoyable, fascinating and restful. Bring the family, it’s fun!
