Whitehill Country Park

Alan Rogers Review of Whitehill Country Park

Whitehill Country Park is beautifully situated in rolling Devon countryside, just 2.5 miles from the nearest beaches. Extending over 40 acres, a definite sense of space characterises this park and ten acres of ancient woodland are available for walks and attract a great deal of wildlife. Whitehill is a friendly park with 250 large grassy pitches which are located in separate fields around the site with evocative names, such as Nine Acres, Sweethill and Coombe Meadow. Most pitches have electrical connections (16A, 15 m. cable). Sixty pitches are used for caravan holiday homes. A new upmarket development of wooden lodges is now completed in Nine Acres field with views across the rural landscape. These luxurious homes are for private ownership and more may be added.

The park was once a stud farm where shire horses were bred for showing and field work. Now the stables and stone farm buildings are used for the wide range of park facilities providing a craft centre for children to try their hand at pottery and painting, even hair braiding. There is also an amusement barn with various video games, amusement machines, pool tables and table tennis not to mention the Hayloft bar (with satellite TV), a café and an extensive decking area for outside eating. An outdoor pool, woods to explore and cycling and walking trails to follow not to mention various play areas make a marvellous holiday venue for all the family.
