Rural site three miles from Barnstaple
Easily accessible from main roads and by public transport
Near Exmoor National Park and surfing beaches of the north Devon coast

There's easy peasy access to and from Crossways Country Park in north Devon: it's simply reached from main roads and – although peacefully rural – is close to piles of Devon attractions and activities, as well as Barnstaple three miles away. Buses from the stop outside the park entrance run to South Molton and Barnstaple. A dog exercise area is at the park and footpaths and country lanes are close by for walks off site. Exmoor National Park is about 12 miles away for longer walks and other activities such as cycling, horse riding, climbing and fishing; it's also a short drive from here to the beaches and famed surfing spots of the north Devon coast. Facilities include a launderette, a washing-up area and washrooms with toilets and showers. The site's a 10-minute walk from the food and drink of the Jack Russell pub, known for its connection with the Rev John Russell, breeder of the first Jack Russell terrier.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Lovely hosts. Site was level and on hard standing due to the fields being inaccessible from the heavy rains recently.
The enclosed dog exercise area was a benefit especially with all the wildlife around. Lovely views. Basic but clean shower/toilet block.

Disliked: The mostly wet weather. 🤣
