Why?
To discover some of the many historic and scenic sights in this beautiful part of the world
It was a blustery autumn day when we arrived at Castle Brake Holiday Park, near Exmouth.
Our first impressions were good. The campsite is big, with a friendly reception team, a shop, a restaurant and powerful hot showers.
We went for our first look around Exmouth in high winds and rain, to see its sandy beaches and stock up on food for the days ahead. It’s probably absolutely lovely in the sunshine!
Exeter’s mighty cathedral
The following morning, we visited Exeter. The Park & Ride into the city has free parking, with buses running roughly every 20 minutes. It’s worth noting, though, that all have 2.1m height barriers - there is parking for motorhomes/larger vehicles outside the Matford site (EX2 8FD), however.
The cathedral is glorious. It costs £7.50 each to enter, but we had found a leaflet with a ‘two for one’ voucher in the campsite’s information room.
