Sedgewell Farm

Having given your walking shoes a warm-up on the woodland walks by the site, put them through their paces with a lengthier amble in the Dartmoor National Park, 20 minutes from the farm. Walks here range from gentle circular strolls to more challenging scrambles; cycle trails, horse riding, climbing, kayaking, fishing and wild swimming are among the other outdoorsy options. Or perhaps you like your fresh air with a hint of sea spray? You’re within easy reach of some fab beaches around here: try Teignmouth, with its Victorian pier, lido and crazy golf, or head to Dawlish for a sandy stretch with dog-friendly area. Torquay’s Living Coasts, Paignton Zoo Environmental Park and Crealy Adventure Park are all less than half an hour away too. It’s worth making time to take a wander around Exeter too, to see its gothic cathedral, follow the city walls trail and delve beneath the streets for a tour of the underground passages.
