We were invited to Pennywell Farm (PR visit) in Buckfastleigh, Devon for a family day out and enjoyed an action packed family day on the farm.

From the moment we arrived, the staff were so welcoming and were quick to offer their recommendations on how to get the most out of our day. There are activities every half an hour throughout the day, so if you want to try and get around everything, it’s worth getting a photo of the schedule on the way in and planning your route around.

Staying all day? Lunch is covered with various food and refreshments outlets. The pasties are delicious and so too is the coffee!

We’ve been to many local Devon attractions and even farm style attractions further afield but Pennywell’s offering is certainly unique.

With rides, activities and hands on experiences with the animals, Pennywell Farm is a fantastic choice for a family day out. Their staff team certainly bring your day to life with informative talks and attentive customer service.

24hrs went all too fast before cut our weekend short 😢. has everything for a wholesome family camping weekend. Just a shame we couldn’t stick around all weekend to continue our adventure. Highlights included:
🐶 Dog Pen
📖bedtime stories
🥓Food court
🌅 Stunning views

Worth a visit with family or as a couple. There’s even a posh onsite restaurant, festival style bars, food court and plenty nearby to explore.

Amazing to see Devon Air Ambulance Trust taking off from Torre Abbey Park! We couldn’t see if there had been an incident but all looked calm!

We had such a nice time on the trail at Haldon Forest Park - Forestry England. It was £3.50 for the activity pack (purchase from the shiny space hut) and our girls were occupied the whole way round!

The play park at the end is always a bonus and a great way for them to burn off that last bit of energy! 100% recommended for families. Be sure to catch Superworm on BBC iplayer before you come, to really get your little ones engaged!

Hands up who’s looking forward to trying this new little gem!? 🙋🏻‍♂️
