Fire Beacon Hill is an area of lowland heath, which offers a bird's eye view of the surrounding countryside and coast. On a clear day you can almost see from Berry Head to Portland, the entire length of Lyme Bay, and on a windy day you are on an eye level with soaring buzzards and ravens.

My family and I stop off at the Donkey Sanctuary at least twice a year on our visits down to see family in Cornwall. It is such a wonderful place for a stop off and the kids love to do the walks and spend some time looking at and learning about the donkeys. We always eat at the cafe which I have to say serves the most wonderful food and has such lovely views out onto the donkeys. We adore seeing how loved and cared for the donkeys are and have come to love donkeys so much we’ve adopted one! You won’t regret a visit!

A perfect mix of woodland, meadows, a stream and spectacular views set in a hidden valley in the heart of East Devon. Knapp Copse lies across both sides of a steep valley within the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and has a true sense of wilderness. There is a rich mosaic of habitats that result in a very attractive landscape once typical of this part of Devon.
