October Half Term sees the return of the popular Dartmouth Food Festival (25th-27th October). This year the event promises to be as successful as ever, with a fabulous selection of celebrity chefs including Mitch Tonks, demonstrations and food stalls. At the Children’s Activities Marquee run by Coast & Country Cottages, children can enjoy biscuit decorating and take part in the colouring competition. Book a holiday at one of the luxury Dart Marina apartments, the perfect base for enjoying all the Food Festival has to offer. 7 Dart Marina is a VisitEngland Five star awarded apartment with stunning views
The South Hams, the Southernmost tip of Devon, is a great holiday destination for walking enthusiasts. Why not enjoy a leisurely stroll along the banks of the River Avon with the children, spotting the rare wildlife found in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty along the way. The nearby disused railway line also makes for a great walk. Finish with a hot chocolate at the Avon Mill Café and Garden Centre, lunch or a delicious supper – the café is open on 25th October for their monthly themed evening, ‘a Warming Autumn Supper’! Stay at the nearby property Blackbird Barn, within walking distance of Avon Mill. This beautifully furnished holiday cottage is set in delightful rolling countryside – the perfect accommodation for a family looking for a quiet rural retreat.
