Hidden Valley Park

We are nestled in a picturesque, wooded valley very near to the pleasant village of West Down, 3 miles East of lively Woolacombe, and 4 miles south of the Victorian harbour town of Ilfracombe. 

We are conveniently located on the A361, between Ilfracombe & Braunton.  We recommend inexperienced cyclists & walkers use the back road, or the surf & cycle bus, which stops on-site.  

This means we are easy to find, with no small narrow roads to drive down!

 There have been several changes to the roads between the M5 and Hidden Valley, so we recommend you switch-off your Sat-Nav, and follow these directions, which will take you little over an hour. 

• From the M5 Junc 27, take the A361 towards Barnstable.

• Follow this road for 30 miles, crossing 3 roundabouts. 

• The next roundabout you come to will have 2 exits.  Take the first, which is the A39 towards Bideford, Bude & Ilfracombe.

• Go straight over the next roundabout and over the Rumsam Bridge, which is crossing the River Taw.

• The next roundabout is Lake Roundabout, take the second exit here (right) towards Barnstable & Ilfracombe, back on to the A361.

•  You’ll shortly be upon Sticklepath Junction (Known as Barn-Hendge to the locals), go straight over to keep on the A361 towards Ilfracombe.

•  You’ll now be going over Taw bridge, which crosses the Taw Estuary. 

•  At the first set of traffic light, go straight ahead, towards the T junction (200-300 yards ahead)

•  At the T junction - Braunton Road Junction - take the left, towards Ilfracombe & Braunton, again staying on the A361.

•  Keep on this road for 4 miles, over a set of traffic lights, past the Tarka Inn on the left and over the roundabout at Chivenor.

•  You’ll now enter Wrafton and then Braunton and be upon a small roundabout, take the second exit which is effectively straight ahead, towards Ilfracombe.

•  Less than a mile ahead is the main crossroads in Braunton, go straight over at the traffic lights.

•  Keep on this road for 2 miles, and you’ll then see Hidden Valley on the left hand side.

•  Please call into Reception, and we will show you to your pitch, or you can relax for a while in the coffee shop or lounge area.
