Why stay here ...
Our CL caravan site lies in the heart of Devonian countryside between Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks, five miles from the Atlantic coast and away from the tourists yet close enough to beaches and surf (Westward Ho, Saunton Sands, Instow and Croyde ) as well as miles of free National Trust coastline (great walking and stunning views!)
Close by, the pretty market town of Great Torrington still has a family butcher, grocers and bakers (oh the aroma of fresh baked buns!) as well as pubs and cafes and its own small market. There is also the lively Plough Arts Centre with live music, theatre and film and it's own restaurant.
Popular nearby attractions include the magnificent R.H.S. Rosemoor Gardens, Dartington Crystal Glass Factory, the Barnstaple and Bideford Pannier market ( food and antiques), Torrington 1646 (civil war re-enactments) and for the more active the Tarka Trail cycle route (30 miles of scenic cycle path), North Devon Surf School, kite surfing, sailing, golf (9 beautiful courses), PGL and Skern Lodge outdoor adventure centres, quad biking, paintball survival, fishing (freshwater and sea), climbing wall, the Milkway indoor children's adventure centre, The Big Sheep farm experience for kids and grownups!
There is plenty of outdoor and indoor entertainment to suit all age groups and all weather and a lot of it is free!

Just what you want in a CL
Higher Darracott Farm
We spent just the one night here, out once pitched up after the rigours of the M5, we wished we had booked for longer.
Easy to find using the supplied directions.
Wonderful Devon landscape with lovely views. So peaceful and quiet.
Like others, we visited RHS Rosemoor, with a little apprehension as we had been only a small step up from shielding during lockdown, and had not been anywhere with lots of other people or to any shops etc. Although Rosemoor felt busy, we felt very safe due to the restrictions in place.
At the CL, there were hand santisiers fixed to the water tap and the chemical disposal.
A gentle slope to the field means levelling blocks useful.
We went on a lovely walk along the surrounding lanes.
A perfect CL

Tranquility!
Higher Darracott Farm
We spent 2 nights here, we were fortunate to only have the sheep as neighbours!I It is a little adventurous to find, but oh so lovely up on the field, our first day was clear and we could see all the way to Lundy Island. The field slopes down and we had to empty our waste water more often as we were very low at the back, but waste and refill facilities all close by. TV reception is brilliant the mast is a little way beyond the farm!! We visited RHS Rosemoor while we were here and we will be back to both Higher Darracott Farm and it's nearby RHS garden.
Warm hospitality despite cool weather
Higher Darracott Farm
We have just spent 5 nights at this secluded but attractive site. Lovely views in a beautiful area. Unfortunately it rained during much of our stay and we also had problems with our caravan's Truma heating system. The site owner did his best to assist us in identifying the fault and also generously lent us a portable heater. We would certainly recommend this CL and will not hesitate to stay there again ourselves if we decide to re-visit the area in the future.

Peaceful site
Higher Darracott FarmSpent a lovely night at this site, very peaceful and situated off the beaten track amongst beautiful scenery. Lovely owners, who (in the nicest way) left us to choose our pitch and settle ourselves in. Very relaxing and a gorgeous sunset when we were there. The site had the basics that we needed....chemical disposal and water. Would certainly return again......thank you!
Lovely CL
Higher Darracott Farm
An extremely peaceful site with nice views. Very pleasant, helpful owner. The grass was kept well cut & access is easy. Nice to have 'good electricity'. The only downside was it was not walkable to a pub but that is minor. Would return if in the area again. Thank you.
