Holmans Wood Holiday Park, Chudleigh

Touring and Camping Accommodation

Holmans Wood (01626 853 785) is a holiday park for caravans, tourers and campers. It is situated just off the A38 12 minutes south of Exeter and 2 minutes north of Chudleigh. The Highwayman's Haunt (01626 853 250) is just down the road on the way to Chudleigh.

Having visited the park I can tell you that it is very clean, attractive and totally relaxing. The views of the surrounding meadows and hills are absolutely lovely, this place is a little gem and well worth stopping if you are looking for a place either for the night or for an extended stay. The managers Marion and Tony Barzilay are good decent people and very welcoming.

The park is situated between the coastal beaches and the moor and both are only 15 minutes drive away including Hay Tor.

I must admit to being highly impressed and if I didn't live just down the road in Chudleigh, I would be staying there myself.

The tent/camping area, very secluded and peaceful.

Meadow next to camping area.

The meadow right next to the camping area. The photo above is to the right of this area and part of the same field. The meadow has a path cut through the grass and flowers that circumnavigates the entire field - it makes for a wonderful walk with access to a little brook. You can just about see (in the photo) the thatched cottage to the left of the large tree in the middle of the photo.

A daisy strewn part of the path. It looked even more beautiful in real life.

A close up of the flowers in the meadow. The photo shows mostly buttercups but a closer look reveals an abundance of variety and shows the meadow to be older than it looks.
