Tucked away in the beautiful Devon countryside, Wildwood Devon is great for a family day out. There are animals to see, including wolves, lynx and wildcat, and the more elusive red squirrels and otters. Catch a falconry display, see the Saxon Village, let the youngsters let off steam in the play areas - there's a maze, zip wire and drop slide. Plenty to keep you all smiling! Take a picnic or fill up on cakes and buns in the Coach House Cafe.

Even if you forget your picnic you won't go hungry, not with Farmer Lee's Food Barn, the Tractor Takeaway and The Pasty Shack!
