Red Lion Wood

A proper woodland walk through Devon countryside, Red Lion Wood sits just outside Tiverton and delivers exactly what you'd want from a forest ramble - tall trees, decent paths, and enough quiet to actually hear yourself think. The woodland floor is thick with moss and bracken depending on the season, and there's a genuine sense of being away from it all despite being close to town.

It's ideal for families who don't need massive attractions - kids will enjoy spotting wildlife and scrambling over tree roots, though there's nothing here to keep them entertained for hours. Walkers will appreciate the network of paths threading through the woodland, and it's the sort of place where you can do a quick thirty-minute stroll or stretch it into something longer depending on your mood.

The real value of Red Lion Wood is how it fits into a broader Devon holiday. If you're staying at Nirvana Glamping just down the road, this is a handy morning or afternoon outing without needing to drive far. It won't be the highlight of your trip, but it's the kind of place that rounds out a holiday nicely - a proper reset between visits to bigger attractions elsewhere in the county. Go on a weekday morning if you can, when the woodland feels genuinely peaceful rather than like a commuter shortcut.
