Winter isn’t the obvious time to take a holiday and it can be tempting to stay indoors at this time of year. But while the beautiful Devon countryside is free of crowds, it’s the perfect time to explore.
The team at Haldon Forest Park share their top tips for getting outdoors in 2025.
Beat the January blues
With festivities over, the start of the year can be a difficult period of cold weather and long nights. Spending time in nature is a fantastic way to enjoy natural light and fresh air. Physical activity can increase your energy levels and reduce stress. Even a short walk can clear your mind and lift your mood, whether you go alone or with loved ones.
Fun for the whole family
Bring your four-legged best friend and the whole family to enjoy Haldon Forest Park’s newest adventure: Forest Walkies with Wallace & Gromit. Follow the trail to complete Gromit’s challenges and solve Wallace’s crossword for a chance to win a dog-friendly holiday! Why not make a day of it by bringing your bikes, wrapping up warm for a picnic, or booking a thrilling Go Ape experience?
Dog-friendly environment
With clearly marked paths and plenty of space to roam, Haldon Forest Park is the perfect spot for exploring. Choose from three easy-to-follow walking trails or create your own route from the network of surfaced trails and forest roads. There are so many scents and sounds to explore, your dog will never get tired of returning to the forest.
Build your fitness
If you’re ready to take things up a gear, try one of our progressive running routes. Start from 1km and work your way up to 5km – or join our two 5k routes together for a challenging 10k trail! Soak up the scenery as you go and you’ll never want to run at the gym again.
Trails for all abilities
Our walking trails include wide, level, surfaced routes with plenty of rest points, as well as challenging hilly hikes. All our trails can be explored with our all-terrain mobility scooters available to hire on site. Scooters are easy to use and will have you gliding through the forest with ease.
