I had always been a little dubious about holiday parks, imagining them to be over-crowded, noisy, with the accommodation being basic and disappointing but, I have to say that after a stay at Ladram Bay Holiday Park, I am converted!
They are a great place to stay with children and ensure there is something to do whatever the weather. The other great thing is that you feel safe not to have your eyes on your children every second. Living just outside Exeter too, it seemed a little strange to be staying away so close to home. However, this was the beauty of the location - no queues on...

The Jurassic Coast World Heritage Team has been awarded the Royal Geographical Society (with IBS – the Institute for British Geographers)’s 2016 Geographical Award.
These prestigious medals and awards recognise excellence in geographical research and fieldwork, teaching and public engagement. They are presented annually to individuals who have made outstanding achievements. Whilst it is unusual for a ‘team’ to be awarded, in the case of the Jurassic Coast, this is entirely appropriate. The Jurassic Coast has always been a partnership organisation and without the work of many people...
A £4million visitor attraction is set to open its doors to visitors for the first time this Easter.
Seaton Jurassic is based in the East Devon coastal resort of Seaton. It hopes to attract thousands of visitors to experience its unique telling of the story of life and particularly how it has evolved on the Jurassic Coast over the past 250 million years ago.
Mike Ruiter, Seaton Jurassic’s manager said: "We are very excited about the prospect of opening. Our staff and local volunteers can’t wait to greet the first visitors when we open our doors at 10am on Saturday 26th March...
People in East Devon and Dorset have the chance to have their say on how the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site is looked after in the future.
The management of the WHS is currently overseen and funded by a partnership including Devon County Council, Dorset County Council, and the charity, the Jurassic Coast Trust. Its day-to-day work is done by a small team based at County Hall in Dorchester.
However, with pressure on council budgets and examples of communities taking a greater role in delivering services, the partners are looking at different ways the coast could be...
Palm Oil is washing up on some beaches along East Devon’s Jurassic Coastline. Although it is not normally harmful to humans or birds, it can prove toxic to dogs if they eat it.
East Devon District Council is warning dog owners to beware of their pets eating the substance. And the council is offering to pick up any clumps of congealed palm oil that are reported to it.
If you find this substance on the beach, please contact East Devon District Council to arrange removal. You can call 01395 516551 or tell us via the Report Litter form on the East Devon App.
