We know the majority of people coming to Devon for their holidays, whether that’s a weekend getaway or something a little longer, are in search of golden beaches and gorgeous views. Luckily, Devon has both of those in abundance and while we spend a lot of time telling you how beautiful the coastline and the moorland is, there is a landscape that has been woefully under represented: Devon’s woodlands.
Devon has a diverse scenery and among the rolling fields and dramatic cliff scapes you’ll find some incredible wooded areas for you to explore. Once you’ve gotten to one of the beautiful forests or woods you’ll want some suggestions of ways to enjoy the sights, so here are our top suggestions.

Many of Devon’s woods have cycle trails through them, making it easy to travel around the trees and see more of what the region has to offer. Many of the forest attractions have bike hire and there are tracks for all abilities, so families with kids, couples or just about anyone can cycle around the woods for something to do one afternoon.
The forests and woodlands all around Devon have lots of species of birds, insects, flora and other wildlife calling them home. You’ll find all sorts of interesting creatures on a trip to the woods, why not grab a note pad and a camera and make note of the different birds you see?
Rather than heading to the moor or a beach for a picnic during the warmer weather, why not go to the forest and combine a picnic with a day out in the woods? You could go on an adventure trail or a cycle ride and then sit among the trees and listen to the wild life while you refresh.
While we don’t advise you dragging bits of foliage around willy nilly, several of Devon’s forest attractions have den building events and other activities where you and the kids can get involved with creating your own hide outs or dens as well as other activities involving the great outdoors.

Devon is full of attractions that are set in woodland, including climbing walls, bridges and more giving you chance to get energetic in amongst the amazing scenery. These kinds of attractions are perfect for kids, couples, business trips and well… anyone who loves pretending to be Tarzan!
So, whether you’re into a calm walk or bike ride through the shaded trees or you want something a little more adventurous, you’ll find the perfect day out while in one of Devon’s woodlands.
