Forest Holidays Deerpark

Liskeard, Cornwall

A peaceful Cornish wood with treehouses and a play area, far quieter than the coastal hotspots yet only twenty minutes from Looe and Polperro. Ideal if you want Cornwall's beaches and the Eden Project without the summer crowds on your doorstep.

Days out nearby

  • Eden Project ↗

    ~13 miles · ~15 mins

    Nature / outdoors · nearby attraction

    Giant biomes hold a rainforest with a canopy walkway and a Mediterranean garden, set in a former clay pit. Children love the scale and the play areas; it is a Cornwall essential whatever the weather.

  • Dartmoor Zoo ↗

    ~31 miles · ~30 mins

    Zoo · ideal day trip

    The zoo made famous by 'We Bought a Zoo' sits on the edge of Dartmoor, with big cats, bears and wolves in wooded enclosures. A good, uncrowded outing for families staying on the moor or near Plymouth.

  • Newquay Zoo ↗

    ~31 miles · ~30 mins

    Zoo · ideal day trip

    A small, leafy zoo set in subtropical gardens, easy to cover in half a day with little ones. Lemurs, penguins and red pandas are the stars, and it slots neatly between beach sessions on a Cornwall break.

  • Pennywell Farm ↗

    ~40 miles · ~45 mins

    Farm park · excellent toddler activity

    Home of miniature pigs, Pennywell runs an hourly programme of hands-on sessions so children cuddle piglets, ride ponies and drive pedal tractors. On the edge of Dartmoor and very well set up for little ones.

  • Theme park · ideal day trip

    Devon's largest theme park mixes water coasters and rides with huge indoor play centres, so it works whatever the weather. Close to Dartmouth and the south Devon coast.

  • Paignton Zoo ↗

    ~51 miles · ~1 hr

    Zoo · ideal day trip

    A large botanical zoo on the English Riviera, with a crocodile swamp, a monkey heights area and lots of shaded garden walks. Good for a rainy-or-shine day during a south Devon beach weekend.
