The Cottage, Ashburton
Great active day out
The Dart Country Park is an amazing day out for the whole family. Something for all ages, with the low ropes, slides, zip wire, trim trail, swimming and man made beach. There is a smaller adventure playground for the younger children. There is a pub on site and a shop. Bring your wet suit if you have one as the water can be quite cold.
There is an entrance fee to the park and you can stay all day. Paid extras are the high ropes, zorbing and Kayaking. Have a look at the website for more information.

This zoo is smaller than Paignton but has a great feel to it. It is the zoo the film Matt Damon starred in We bought a Zoo.
