Soak in the last of the Winter sun

It’s an open secret that Devon takes on a magical charm during the winter months. The crisp, fresh air invigorates your senses, while dramatic skies set the scene for unforgettable coastal and moorland walks. Whether you’re exploring the rugged trails of Dartmoor or wandering along the South West Coast Path, winter brings a serene beauty to these dramatic landscapes. It’s a time to see Devon from a new perspective – peaceful, untamed, and wonderfully different from the lively buzz of summer.

Winter Wildlife

North Devon is a fantastic destination for wildlife all year-round. In February, you can catch the first glimpses of spring while still witnessing the last of the winter creatures. Head to the coast to spot seals lounging on the rocks or explore the countryside to catch a glimpse of a graceful deer or soaring buzzards.

Bring along binoculars and challenge your children to identify different wildfowl or coastal birds! Don’t forget to keep an eye out for the early bloom of snowdrops – a sure sign that spring is just around the corner.

From rock pools to woodland trails, North Devon’s winter wildlife provides endless opportunities for memorable family activities, offering a deeper connection to nature – and time away from screens!

Beat the Summer crowds

A huge plus of spending February half-term breaks at Croyde Bay is the relaxed environment. It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy the county’s beauty and the activities on offer without the crowds, making it an ideal time for a peaceful family getaway.
