Canonteign Falls

✨ For the Kids:

• Hunt for hidden fairy sculptures - fairy doors in the ferns enchant adults and children alike, above every fairy door is a beautiful wire fairy hanging from the trees. Marvel at life-sized Willow Dinosaurs in our enchanting Victorian Fern Garden.

• Let them burn off energy in two adventure play parks complete with trampolines, a play ship beneath the trees, and a zip wire.

• Conquer 90 Victorian steps to the waterfall, then take on the mini assault course and explore the whimsical Green Ship from Quentin Blake’s well known story.

• Pick up some duck food for the resident ducks and follow our children’s nature trail for the perfect element of fun to your day.

🌳 Space to Roam:

Beyond the waterfalls, the Lower Lakes provide wide-open meadows, winding nature trails, and zig-zag paths around seven lakes. Spot elegant willow herons, cross rustic bridges whilst looking out for Kingfishers amongst the weepeing willow trees.

Wander along our magical paved Labyrinth – a peaceful experience for all ages. Taking 6 minute from start to finish with no dead ends this keeps little legs busy running to the centre where they are rewarded with The Torus statue, a polished mirror disc which reflects the countryside back at you.

🐾 Special Holiday Treat – Alpaca Experiences:

Meet our gentle alpacas in a stunning lakeside setting – our alpaca experiences run in the school holidays, where you meet, feed and walk these gorgeous animals which gives a truly unique and memorable addition to any family holiday activity.

☕ Relax & Refuel

After your adventure, unwind at our pretty lakeside café, Canonteign Kitchen. Serving a seasonal menu of delicious home‑cooked food, there’s something to suit all ages and budgets – from hearty lunches to light bites. Treat yourself to a creamy milkshake, indulgent ice cream, or a traditional Devonshire cream tea. Younger visitors will love our special children’s lunch box menu, while colouring sheets keep them happily entertained, giving grown‑ups a chance to truly relax.

⭐ Big Games Fun!

In our inner courtyard, you’ll find giant Jenga and Connect Four, perfect for keeping the kids entertained while you relax and enjoy your lunch or afternoon tea. It’s a great way for the whole family to share a little extra fun during your visit!

🐶 Dog Friendly

We love welcoming dogs both indoors and out! You’ll find doggy treats, fresh water bowls, and even a special doggy afternoon tea menu to spoil your four-legged friends. We simply ask that all dogs are kept on leads to help protect our wildlife and keep everyone safe around the rocky areas.

Whether you’re chasing waterfalls, exploring nature, or simply relaxing in the beauty of the Devon countryside, Canonteign Falls offers an unforgettable family day out.
