My wife uses a mobility scooter, on this occasion we hadn't charged it sufficiently and it powered down. Luckily we were just inside the zoo. I spoke with a chap at reception who supplied us with a wheelchair and stored ours securely during our visit. Extremely helpful and pleasant, I think his name was Jamie. Just for information, the zoo is particularly hilly and has several inclines, only the most robust of mobility scooter would cope with the terrain. We enjoyed our day, ate in the restaurant and once again the chap that served us was very pleasant and helpful. The food was good too.

This trip was my first visit since Duchess the elephant passed away in 2019. Before that I used to visit almost weekly and take a stroll around the zoo. 4 years after my annual membership comes to an end, I visit again, however, this time I was more disappointed than happy. A lot of sections were closed off for renovation -which is great for the animals - but i think the list of animals that we couldn't see would outweigh the list of animals that we could see. We stopped in the restaurant for some lunch. Possibly a little over priced but it did taste good. Overall I think Paignton Zoo is an expensive day out. If you plan on making a family trip, I'd recommend bringing your own picnic to save on costs and booking tickets in advance. Positives: the car park is extremely big and free. Walking around the zoo is great excersize. The renovations shouldn't take too long to finish and the animals will have nicer enclosures :) I wish Paignton Zoo all the best.

Great zoo. Been to Paignton many times but this was a first visit to the zoo. Great offer of kids go free with paying adult meant we paid £40 for a family of five. We spent three hours there but could easily have done more. Be prepared for lots of walking and some steep slopes. Several enclosures were going through renovation but there were still plenty of animals to see. Would definitely visit again.

It was a nice day out however we were slightly disappointed by the lack of animals. A few of the enclosures were empty with no sign of why, whilst others were empty with signs stating that work was being done. This was fine. The fact that the park is so big and hard to navigate made the day slightly more frustrating. The guide (map) was £3.50 on the way in which is a clear money making scheme and there were no maps on the way around to see where we were or where we were going. We ended up walking up dead ends, away from all the animals and this was extremely frustrating as someone who is 8 months pregnant trying to make the most of the school holidays with her children. We missed a number of animals simply because we couldn't find our way to them. Yes we could have bought a guide, but £3.50 for something you throw away when you get home, on top of the price of food and tickets, was unreasonable to me. Other zoos I have attended provide these free on the way in and provide maps whilst navigating the area. Ice cream was overpriced, but to be expected for an attraction area such as this. Gift shop is located on the way in and way out, another clear money making scheme however the items in the gift shop are nice and have a good range. There is a lot of walking included in the visit and a very small amount of it is flat, this is something people should be aware of if walking or in mobility scooters as the land is sometimes uneven. I'm very unsure if I'll be attending this zoo again as I have found others that are more beneficial and animal focused.

Fantastic Zoo with fantastic enclosures. We went midweek and the zoo was quiet enough to enjoy at a pace we liked. Having the mobility scooters for hire was absolutely fantastic, it meant I could ensure the experience with my children without worrying about the repercussions later. The food was lovely and had great portion sizes. Overall a fantastic day with very helpful and attentive staff.

We visited during easter. The zoo has plenty of parking. Unfortunately it was a rainy day when we visited, however the staff had set up arts and crafts in sheltered places to occupy the children while everyone got out of the rain. When we visited we converted to an annual pass, so although it is dear, if you were local you would get your money's worth back. We were fortunate enough to see most of the animals so it was a successful visit in spite of the weather. I think it's a lovely zoo with a layout which means you are not on top of each other with other visitors. We went to the canteen when it was pouring at some point and though not gourmet, the portions are generous and reasonably priced. What we didn't do well was plan our trip aligned to some of the feeding times and talks. I would advise finding out about these in advance as they are worth it. Would definitely say it's a good day out for the family. I only wish you better weather. Would not hesitate to return given the chance in the next 12 months.

Surprisingly spacious zoo with so much to do and so nicely laid out! The zoo itself was super clean too and we went on a busy weekend. Make sure you bring your walking boots though as it is super hilly but well worth the trek!

What an amazing zoo, we had such a wonderful day! Really lovely enclosures and seemingly happy animals! Friendly staff, good choice at the Island restaurant and very nice gift shop. We visited on a Tuesday in winter so it was very quiet with no queues and no problems seeing all of the animals!

Really nice place it does have slopes. Friendly staff who are always happy to talk about the animals. Food is quite expensive and there are a lot a seagulls just ready to pounce. All in all a great day out for the family.

It was such an amazing experience we had in here! I visited this place with my kids and spent the whole day here. Animals are well kept, and the stuff was helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. This zoo is definitely worth a visit 🥰

Lovely day out. But can't help but feel the zoo is lacking somewhat, lots of empty enclosures, and things being moved. Kids went free which is good, can't say I'd be overly impressed if all paid full price. Staff were lovely, friendly and welcoming. Will probably wait for news of new animals before returning.

Great Zoo! My disabled wife, teenage son , teenage daughter and I visited the zoo on 23rd October and discovered Paignton Zoo really cares about their animals and their customers. We booked tickets online as requested and arrived at 12.30pm there was plenty of free parking but be advised the Zoo is on the side of a steep valley which if you have a self propelled wheelchair, like us, is going to be challenge. When booking online and providing you supply proof, one carer can be submitted free of charge, which I thought very generous. We entered the Zoo and discovered really helpful staff who offered us the opportunity to rent an off-road electric scooter for just £20 for the duration of our visit. We also had to pay a £20 deposit which would be refunded when we returned the scooter undamaged. We were in two minds whether to take this offer but this turned out to be a great investment as the hills were steep and the paths were long. They also provided us with a map marking out the routes and attractions available via scooter or buggies. There was a real focus on making disabled customers and families with buggies/prams welcome in all areas of the zoo. Toilets and refreshment stalls were dotted around the zoo keeping kids happy and the animals and attractions were accessible for all to see. Even though maintenance was taking place all animals were accessible, bar the giraffes. Apparently, they had a wild time the night previous and just couldn't face dealing with the public with hangovers.. we've all been there! The zoo wasn't over crowded, there was no waiting in-line for anything even though it was quite busy. Food was lovely and we all had a really good time. We would definitely recommend a visit and don't forget to leave a donation as they get no financial support from the Government.

We had a lovely time, despite being a chilly winter day, mid-February. It did mean most of the animals were staying tucked up inside in the warm. But we could view them in their quarters, apart from the Giraffes. My 3 year old granddaughter loved it. They are doing renovations for some of the enclosures and public park areas, which I'm sure will be fabulous by the summer. They have some great birds and lots of cheeky apes. I would say the Baboons need to be next on the list for a regeneration. Fabulous, reasonably priced coffee. Caution ⚠️(parents with little ones) The shop with delightful toys is on full view when you enter! Haha Car parking is free.

We have a family pass so we can go as many times in 12 months which is amazing. The facilities for kids are great such as the soft play area that is broken down into areas for age groups. The animal enclosures are well maintained and it is clear they invest in the animals and the site as a whole.

Lovely place with lots to see. Many animals stayed inside due to the cold which was a shame. Lots of walking which was great. A fabulous day out for little ones too with a couple if decent play parks. No hot food for customers from the cafe though, only hot pizzas for the workmen! Disappointing as they had run out of pasties which was the only thing available and nothing vegetarian either.

Lovely zoo with many interesting animals. Some good improvements being made to some enclosures with animal welfare being focused on. Good access for those needing, good to book a scooter beforehand, with good instruction on areas to avoid. Lunch options cater for most tastes with a number of cafes scattered around and the main restaurant well placed.

Took our (nearly) 3 year old here for the day and she had the time of her life. The zoo itself is more like a sprawling lush subtropical garden paradise with animal enclosures dotted throughout. The animals were all well cared for and healthy looking. The restaurant was nice too, offering a cool break from the heat outside. Make sure to take plenty of water in the warmer months! Highly recommended.

It has over 2,000 animals, however no elephants. The giraffes are my all time favorite, wish we could get up close and personal with them. Very clean, lovely walks on steady paths, great for disabled persons and also offer electric scooters for those that can't quite walk all the way around. The crocodiles have been taken out of the zoo due to power shortage from the weather, but great zoo all in all. Take a pack lunch or a picnic so you are saving on money.

This is my first time to Paignton Zoo. It seems that a lot of the animals weren't there, or hiding lol. The zebra and giraffe areas looked like a building site but it does say that they're improving it at this time. I still have 5 stars because it's all about looking for the animals.

Getting to the Zoo was no problem at all after arriving at the booked time slot. It was fascinating to see the different types of animals in their almost natural enclosures. The information boards were packed with key facts and information to provide insight to what the animals eat and what are like out in the wild. We spent the whole day here which was good considering how much you are paying to gain entry. Would advise bringing a picnic but beware of the seagulls. All round good day out for two.

Visited numerous times as a member. Great if you want to do something for a few hours or spend a whole day. Staff are always friendly and helpful and zoo keepers are very knowledgeable. Worth getting the membership if your are local.

Lovely open space to walk around and explore the animals. Indoor viewing areas help when the weather is not so dry. Great cafe with a good choice of food at reasonable prices. You can also bring your own food and picnic on the benches whilst watching the animals

A lovely zoo to visit on a nice day, there were four of us who went, myself and better half and two small ones (both under 3), parking was easy to find and get into with a short walk to the entrance where you’re able to view flamingos before entering, staff are warm and welcoming and seem genuinely helpful. There are a good deal of animals to see across different species along with different habitats such as an insect room and reptile house. There are opportunities to have an experience with talks and feeding sessions throughout the day for you to attend with times prominently displayed as you enter. The on site cafe and restaurant is a little expensive but not drastically pricey and the same goes for the gift shop on site as well, we came away with, I think 4, small souvenirs which totalled just above £20. The only drawbacks I experienced were some of the doors were a bit of a challenge to navigate with a double pushchair and some of the enclosures were quite far apart from each other so sensible footwear and clothing is a must. But overall a genuinely fun and engaging day out with the family

Very quiet on a Friday morning into early afternoon visit. With just young families and the odd members walking around it felt like we had the place to ourselves. All the animals were visible and we saw all the new arrivals since our last visit. We also had lunch in the restaurant which was quick and convenient.

Quite hilly to walk around and to/from the car park, son was excited to realise this is where the CBBC The Zoo is filmed after recognising different areas. Pleasant day out, a few empty enclosures but signs explaining moves around but some just closed (Black Rhino) with no explanation. Some areas were a bit tatty needing a bit of tidying up, but given the poor weather recently this is understandable as not ideal conditions to be doing these sorts of repairs. Would perhaps be worth considering a little shuttle up to the car park as it was a long walk at the end of the day!

Pity a lot of the animals were inside their huts as we only got to see about half of the animals. Some of the snack type facilities weren’t open & it was a case of going back to the restaurant for food. Thought the prices in the restaurant were very reasonable. Paths around the zoo were good but be warned that it’s not all on a level ground.

A great day out! Lots to see, ample parking, friendly staff. The only bad mark was that some exhibits at the time of vist (I.e. Kangaroos) were empty and this wasn't informed, but plenty else to see

What a place! We visited in the summer of 2032 and spent a most enjoyable few hours touring the village. So much to see and masses of detail in every scene. We loved it, and had great fun spotting all the details. The crazy golf was free and was great fun too. Highly recommended if you want to be surprised and amazed at the skill of the model makers.

What a wonderful place. It's so well thought out, and the humour is great. Added bonus of free crazy golf. The grounds are well maintained. Love the new indoor mythic section as well. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area, you will not be disappointed! They update the models regularly as well.

Great place for all the family. Kids love this place. So much to see and explore. The continuous work by the gardeners makes this place really special and magical. The café is a little limited but has a good selection of drinks. The car park outside is a pay and display Council car park and always loads of spaces.

Possibly the biggest Model Village I have ever visited (ironically!) - very steep hills at the start and end though! Clever little details like a lot of Model Villages, challenging mini golf included in the price which was good along with a few other displays in addition to the main village. Fairly limited choice of food in the cafe, but all staff we interacted with were pleasant and welcoming. Quite expensive parking though, but that is the local council, not the Model Village that sets that - they should lobby for lower charges to increase footfall. Nice place to visit for a couple of hours! (the kids enjoyed getting the dragon to breath fire too!)

Went in a family group of eight, spent the afternoon there, the crazy golf was fun (which is included in the entrance fee). Everywhere seems clean and well kept and if you take your time you'll see more than you first notice. The cream tea in a box was tasty. Really enjoyed our time here, I recommend a visit.

I love a model village and I’ve been coming here for over 40 years. I still think this is the best in the country and it’s updated and changed so there is always something to see. First time I’ve been since they added crazy golf which was great fun. Well worth a visit.

Truly is detail ! It is worth a visit never mind the kids it’s for everyone! Who enjoys more me or my son ! My wife loved it ! Well sign posted to spend time looking at the models to take pictures! Something for everyone & comical to laugh at ! Toilets fantastic! Cafe area fantastic well priced ! A beautiful sit down area out side to enjoy your food ! This model village is like a massive garden hidden gem ! They say at night it looks beautiful! Try it for your self & be a kid again !

How I want to give this a 5 star! But I cannot just for price reasons. £17.95 on the door per person...its an amazing model village, the first one I've been to since I was a child. But it was nearly £20 or £40 for two people, mentally it felt too much. I would of preferred it closer to £15 than £20. Anyway, the village was incredible, loads of unique things to spot, celebrity models to find and plenty of photo opportunities. You'll enjoy it, and it's just about worth it's money! (Or buy tickets in advance like we should of and save those extra couple of £££s.

It was such an amazing experience. From my point of view, besides the fun of looking at the buildings and the people, it's a great place to contemplate our lives from above. It's so well done. I recommend this location to everyone. It's great fun for children and adults alike.

Not visited here since I was young and walking in just brought back so many memories. The layout of the village is great, taking you down a hill. The place is very picturesque. We visited for one of the Summer Night Illuminations and it was great to see it all lit up. Had to use our phone torches towards the end to read the signs and properly view the exhibits. Maybe be worth having torches available for those who may not have a phone?

Recommend booking online for a discount. We were an hour early and the gentleman still allowed us with no issues. Beautiful scenery even in bad weather. Models are clearly well crafted with a brilliant sense of humour in mind for adults while children can marvel at the creations. There are indoor models and of course outdoor ones. (Indoor has heating) Nice that they have mini golf to break up the routine. Overall, an amazing experience!

Such an interesting model village, definitely one of the best I've visited. Amazing detail in the models, some interactions and a "find where wally" for the children. Has got accessible paths but very hilly and probably difficult to push wheelchairs about. Thought it was quite expensive, but thoroughly enjoyed it.

I was very impressed with this model village, the detailing in the people was very good. Everything is well thought through. There’s arrows on the floor so you don’t miss anything. Very clean toilets. 4 acre plot with models all over. There’s crazy golf on site with a cafe and a gift shop. Overall a 5 star experience with reasonable pricing.

A brilliant day out which took us about 2-3 hours. Loved all of the displays and was great to see it's regularly updated with even small touches such as the recent FA Cup Final and King's coronation. You even get a game of mini golf! Make sure you book in advance online for 10% off entry.

A lovely place with just a few issues. If disabled like myself the village is very steep in places so make sure you wear comfortable shoes and take someone with you and try to go on a dry day. Needs some extra rails in places otherwise an amazing place very family friendly and the staff was very helpful.

An enjoyable couple of hours looking around. There were nice plants to make it look pleasant. We played crazy golf for free, which was very unexpected. They had a cafe , that you could eat in or out. A little bit steep in places. We had a very pleasant day there.

Simply amazing place. Cost family of 4 £63 to enter, but don't let that put you off. They clearly invest well back into the attraction which is beautifully clean throughout with ample clean toilets, a lovely cafe, good, fun crazy golf (included in admission fee), and of course a stunning and extensive model Village collection. Everything from old to future scenes with flowing water, trains, and literally hundreds of querky features and funny installations. Keep your eyes out for Where's Wally and friends, plus a fun Easter egg hunt (free with admission), which gives children a bracelet upon completion. There is so much to see. You really mustn't rush, or you'll miss the detail. Would highly recommend and definitely visit again when in the area. Finally, the gardening is excellent throughout, and I love the use of alpines, confiers, and dwarf Acer trees throughout. Order tickets day before to save around £1.50 per ticket. They don't take payment until you arrive. :-)

We visited during the Easter break. We missed booking the tickets online so just turned up at the door as suggested on the website. I think during peak times this probably wouldn't work so plan ahead. It was about £70 for a family of 4. We got a discount I think applied to larger groups. We didn't struggle with parking but again it might be different during the summer. The website recommends 2.5 hours which I say is about right. We played the mini golf before continuing with our tour so it could be less or more depending on whether you play and how long you take. The children most enjoyed the interactive aspects including the fire breathing dragon but I enjoyed everything. The miniature train was a hit. They changed from freight train to passenger train in the duration of our visit so the excitement went up again 😂 Don't miss the indoor bits and do take a leisurely stroll. The mythical kingdom is a matter of taste, we had divided opinions as you do with kids. It's an attraction I would highly recommend even with its price tag. The kids had fun finding the Easter eggs hidden in various displays. If we lived closer it would be lovely to visit on some of their special events and themes

Very well presented. Could have saved a couple of quid if pre booked. Great history behind it. Spent about 2 hours here. Had a game of crazy golf too. Stayed for coffee in the cafe.

Wonderful little place....with council parking right in front of the venue....the miniatures are absolutely wonderful and kids loved it..... easily takes 1/2 day to stroll around the entire place

Lovely day out. Great for with the dogs and the staff were lovely ( even though my dog was a bit yappy 🤣) a lot of fun and so cute to take photos of the dogs next to the miniature scenes. If you go with a dog I'd go with a friend or someone else so that you can still look at the inside displays. I'd say it would be wonderful for all ages but if someone has mobility issues or is in a wheel chair they may struggle to get up the slope. Also as a future assistance dog handler it was wonderful to see signs saying no dogs except assistance dogs 🐕‍🦺 Vs the normal no dogs except guide dogs (for the indoor display areas where dogs can't go) I really appreciate it. If I come on holiday in the area again I will definitely be coming back. Thank you ☺️

Perfect for a sunny afternoon, our visit lasted around 2 hours. It’s a wee bit cheaper per ticket to book online in advance rather than just turn up. There’s a mini golf course of 9 holes and superb models on display. You can round it all off with a decent cup of coffee in the coffee shop too.

Wow! So much to see here. The amount of detail in the houses and the sets is unbelievable. You can spend a few hours walking around seeing everything, and your children will love it. There's a burning house and a fire breathing dragon and so much more to see. A great cafe ( the panini's are lovely) and handy toilets halfway round. There's also crazy golf if you fancy a game.. We went Halloween week and I think there were some items added for the occasion

This is one of the best model villages I've been to. The size and scale of some of the models and displays are wonderful and very skillfully done with a lot of humour included in the displays. Definitely a place not to miss.

Such a fun experience. Never had a tour in a cave and felt so engaged by our guide (David). Enjoyed every second, a lovely cafe where we had coffee before and after our tour, laughing staff enjoying themselves. Had such a lovely atmosphere. Once in the cave, our tour guide “David” was brilliant, nice to be shown something by someone who is passionate and interacts so well with the group he is with. The operators really do have a gem with this tour guide, never had such a fun experience. I have not put many pictures of the caves in as you need to visit to get the full effect of how great they are and the story they have.

Lovely little visit. We caught the bus from Paignton which was a nightmare, but actually at Kents Cavern was great. We arrived early so we were able to move our pre-booked tour from 12.30 to 11am. We had a time for a coffee (which was delish) and Simon our tour guide was great he involved the kids in the tour asked them questions and was more than happy to answer questions at the end. He gave a warning about low head room and wet under foot. I have slight mobility issues so if you're the same please, please wear proper footwear, flip-flops and water DON'T mix. The woodland trail is steep but that's mainly the steps but it's great for the kids.

Amazing piece of history. Our guide Amy was very knowledgeable and funny and made the experience something to remember. I'd recommend to anyone in the area to visit here. Such an interesting place! The onsite cafe is lovely too and reasonably priced. All of the staff are very welcoming as well.

Excellent experience given by James, the very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Came here at Christmas for the Father Christmas experience which the children loved with all the elves entertaining them and a free gift from Santa. This visit was about insights into the caves and the animals and people who lived here. Children as young as 6 up to pensioners all were captivated, including the special effects and the complete blackout experience. Prices are reasonable considering the top quality attraction and if you're an annual member (currently £20) then you get 10% off shop and cafe prices and free entrance for a year plus free parking. Cafe has good cakes, coffees and teas and not expensive.

These Prehistoric caves are, without doubt, the most remarkable site I have ever visited and today's experience way, way, way exceeded even my highest expectations. Millions of years of geology, hundreds of thousands of years of history and the chance to explore one of the World's most important stone age sites. Superlatives, there are none which adequately do justice to what I saw and heard on this morning's guided tour. Our guide, Ellie, absolutely smashed the delivery of it out of the park - easily the best tour I have been a part of. Facts, anecdotes, stories, humour, all evident in a wonderfully confident presentation to a highly receptive and appreciative group. The sensory interaction and way that cave history was brought to life was exceptional. This was exquisitely done and I would strongly suggest a visit to the caves whenever in this neck of the woods. Utterly outstanding.

An interesting place to visit with your kids especially when is raining or is too hot outside. The temperature in the cavern is around 11 degrees all year around. You'll learn a lot of interesting facts from the tour guide. There is a small cafe and toilets are available also.

Great experience here!! Guided cave tour which was hilarious, but also incredibly interesting!! Well worth the money and time. Also a little woodland walk to do. The caves are fairly accessible with hand rails most of the way through where there's slopes.

This was my first time ever in a cave. It's worth it. Try it. The tour guide was very good. Kept us engaged the whole tour. The tour is about an hour. But you don't notice it. The cave itself is very nice. The temperature in the cave is a little chilly. About 10-14° it's quite amazing down there. You have a little safety briefing. And then some walks to various chambers. I can fully recommend this. There's a Cafe, gifts shop and on site parking. A kids recreation area too.

This was absolutely brilliant, both for grown ups and kids. We had a 6 year old and 11 year old with us. The guide was fantastic, the place was really well presented, there was zero waiting time for our slot. Really high quality tour, thoroughly recommend.

We were lucky enough to arrive at opening time and nobody else did - so we had the absolute pleasure of a tour for 2 with our own tour guide; James. What an amazing experience this is. James was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the caves and the geology of the area (I'm sure the other guides are too!) And he presented this information in an engaging and amusing way, always happy to answer our many questions and discuss things. The caves themselves are a must see if you're in the area - and are worth travelling to if you're not. So much history - and the ages of the caves, the dwellers, the bones that have been discovered and the rock formations are simply mind boggling. Cannot recommend this place highly enough for a really interesting couple of hours out - and if James happens to be your tour guide, you've hit the jackpot.

Can't believe I've never heard of this let alone visited it! Really good tour, reasonably priced (especially if you coincidentally find yourself going in local's month!) with a nice cafe serving a limited range of really good food, again, at reasonable prices. The gift shop continues the reasonably priced theme so you don't come away with a massive bill. The tour is about an hour and, assuming all the guides are as good as James, both informative and amusing. Still photography is allowed and there is ample time to do that, rather than constantly being hurried along. It's the perfect wet weather activity but I strongly advise booking online (slightly cheaper) and in advance.

The tour takes 1 hour. Our guide Dave made this time very pleasant. The information he gave us was very interesting including why these caves in Devon are called Kents. Ever thought about it? Than ask Dave the tour guide.

We visited the caves during our holiday and our tour guide Abbie was brilliant! Very engaging and a great story teller. Abbie made the tour lots of fun and we really enjoyed the caves and it's history.

Brilliant evening here for the cinema experience. Was a very interesting evening. Staff were friendly and helpful. Cafe was brilliant. The only negative was the chairs, you felt a little like you was sliding down during the film. But wasn't enough to put me off. Fantastic experience !

We really enjoyed our visit. James our guide was brilliant, he explained everything clearly and entertaining.

If you like caved this is a must. You are given a tour hosted by David and he was very good full of information. Lovely cafe on site with good prices. We stayed 2-5 hours well worth the money.

Decided to visit here last minute at the end of our holiday and it ended up being the best part of the whole week. Our tour guide David deserves a raise, he was fantastic, brilliant with all the kids, especially my daughter who was a bit nervous in the dark, really knowledgeable about what he talking about, hilarious, and clearly really passionate about what he does. The tour was really interesting and all the extra bits outside of the caves were great too, lots of interesting information and interactive parts for the kids like gem digging.

Great experience and a well organised and informative tour. Staff were very friendly and the cafe and main building were immaculately clean. Not the first cave tour we've had but one of the best, parking is £3 for 4 hours at the time of our visit, November, as well as a cafe there is a woodland walk for children and a picnic area. Certainly a good place to visit for a few hours.

Have to say, it was surprisingly educational and a comedic experience. Ended up late due to traffic but the receptionist gave us the option to continue on missing 10 mins of the tour or wait for the next one, so we chose the latter. There is a lot of history which is comically expressed, allowing you to keep interest. Lucas was a great tour guide and kept the group engaged for 45 minutes. Have to recommend it to anyone in the area. Parking cost £3 which for 45 mins might seem expensive to some. Plenty of spaces available though.

That was really a wonderful tour. I am really surprised of the information which was introduced to us. Simon the guide of the tour was really creative and professional he really made the tour very interesting.

Amazing experience , guided 1 hour tour ….🤩👏👏👏👏 They also sell a really nice pizza at the restaurant. 👌

This is a fantastic family attraction and well worth a visit! There is a display of artifacts to explore before or after you go into the caves. The caves themselves are very interesting with millions of years of history. There are the classic stalactites and stalagmites. There is an excellent cafe and shop. But above all else. The staff were truly exceptionally excellent! Very educational, patient and engaging with both parents and children.

The visit to Kents Caverns was truly delightful, providing a wholesome experience reminiscent of stepping back in time to the era of cave-dwelling and pre-electricity days. Our tour guide, James, was not only informative but also made the historic details of the cave come alive with his engaging and enjoyable explanations. Additionally, the amenities such as the cafe and souvenir shop made the ticket price entirely worthwhile.

It’s hard to imagine there is much to see and do in a cave, but the guide was very knowledgeable, explain a lot about the history of the cave, how it was made, a loads more. I’m not going to lie I was a bit sceptical, but it was rather good. We didn’t do the out side bit, wrong time of year and the weather was horrid.

Great cave, would highly recommend. Staff were friendly. Can get busy so book tickets in advance.

The village of Cockington is a real time machine, stepping back in time to days gone by! It is a quaint part of south Devon which is well worth a wander around. The highlight is the Country Park which is accessible via a number of reasonable car parks. The park is packed full of beautiful trees and plants, water features and hidden paths. It’s a haven for dog walkers with lots to explore for kids too.. would thoroughly recommend.

Genuinely surprise! Lovely area, ground are well kept, parking is a fair price, shame when we visited lots of things were closed but still enjoyable to walk around! Just be warned on entry there is a narrow road, signs saying not to park but seems a lot of people just ignore the signs and park up in the lane

Amazing park! I love this cozy side of Torbay, this fabulous park next to the cottages is just the definition of a fantastic day! I am fond of the lakes there and people are so friendly. I love the stories on the benches by the way, they are so touching!

It's free 😁 . Very tidy. There is a free toilet by the kitchen gallery. Rose garden was amazing,the smell was so strong and sweet. Watching glass blowing was fun. Scenery was tranquil and beautiful. Thatched cottages everywhere. Food was very expensive imho But looked nice. Bought rum n raisin ice-cream ,very large scoop in normal cone, £2.25 good value😁

Brilliant day out,the walks round the grounds and lakes,the craft centre with blacksmiths and glassblowing amongst other crafts,plenty of Ben he's to sit and enjoy the fabulous views,cafes with wide variety of home made produce,quaint thatched roof buildings,not to be missed.

Great place to spend a day strolling through Cockington Village. A really well preserved Country Park with a blacksmith's, thatched cottages, a church, large manor house, shops and tea rooms. It feels like stepping back in time. There are expansive grounds, tarmacked paths and cross-country walks. All very accessible. When I was young there used to be shire-horses which pulled carriages you could ride. These seem to have gone now but still a really chilled place to visit.

A great day out with kids and dogs. Lots to explore and plenty of space for burning off energy. Spent about 4 hours here in total, including a drink in the pub. Only problem we had was the card machine in car park wasn't working and we didn't have enough change, luckily a very kind lady gave us some.

Excellent place for walking (especially of you have a dog)! Nice coffee shop in the main house. Lovely walks through the park. Excellent craft shops on site as well - highly recommended.

Great time here, great place for bringing dogs too, nice artisan stores, also blacksmith and glassblowing. Pretty rose garden and cafe

We love popping in to Cockington but was disappointed that our favourite Afternoon Tea venue has closed and now for sale sign of the times, over the road is a new Café opened with substandard Scones, dirty water for the Puggies, nit been cleaned for ages. They gave treats at least. The parking is OK with a friendly traffic warden as he takes a photo of your car for later when you are enjoying yourself so much he gives you a ticket, no phone app sadly you have to use a credit card or real money. A lovely place to visit and a few Craft shops and a pub etc

Explore the woodland walks if you go here. Too many people miss these areas. Review update following covid and staffing shortage the rather nice clocks cafe is now fully open with real cups again

Cockington park is a beautiful place to visit with quaint 16th century thatched cottages, a visitors centre, craft shops, gift shops, gardens, children's play area, pub, tea rooms & a country house with sculptures & art inside & out. It's ideal for walking or picnicking & dogs are welcome. 🙂👍 Just make sure you have change for the carpark because the card machine doesn't work.

Brilliant place to visit and the staff are so friendly. The cafe is lovely and the ice cream portion very generous, will definitely return when back in the area.

Excellent old countryside village in England. Beautiful old cottages. Some classy gift shops. Green landscapes. Walking trails. Ample parking. Nice pub near parking.

There are beautiful houses. In the park there is a beautiful church that you can go inside. There is a lot of different walking paths and one of them takes you to the beach. There is a beautiful garden there is a shop that you can buy hand made things that are made by the blacksmiths there. Parking is at the place as well.

A great place to spend time and in good weather the day ,with a stunning location with lots of marked out walks ,also a craft market with live demonstrations and glass blowing etc. Also places to eat children's play areas and pick nick areas .👍👍

Beautiful place that is full of fresh seafood. Very friendly local people and tourists, superb scenic views, suitable for couples, groups, dogs. Maybe not for young children or elderly who cannot walk far as the there are many steep walks up hills and steps, not pram / wheelchair friendly. A harbour full of British culture history. Worth a visit if you love seafood and exploring. Take comfortable shoes for the day and a little dressier at night but more casual throughout the stay.

This was a great place to harbour. 72ft sailing yacht had lots of room. The onshore facilities were modern and clean. Would recommend for one night stays. On the other hand, the pontoons was literally flooded in bird poo which was a bit disgusting and should really be cleaned. However, there were some really nice sun sets :)

Beautifully scenic location, with a great deal to distract and occupy your time. With bars and a variety of shops, as well as events and trips all starting off from or at least very near to this location. Even saw a seal happily swimming around the harbour. Though a bit to quick for the camera. 😉

Nice walk, lovely quaint pubs to have a pint. Loads of places to eat. Dog friendly.

A day out in Brixham Harbour, a pretty little fishing harbour. Take a walk alongside the harbour to the cafe by the beach just outside the harbour sea wall. Fish for crabs over the harbour wall, lookout for seals playing around the moored boats. Go choose your fish and have it cooked at rockfish. A nice day out. Go there.

What a beautiful part of the world... The atmosphere, the colours, lovely streets and shops.. beaches.. just beautiful. I would love to come back to this place again. Highly recommend

Brixham Harbour is located on the southern aspect of Tor Bay and boasts one of the largest fishing fleets in the UK, plus a thriving fish market to support it.walk around the Harbour’s edge will find several restaurants, bistros and pubs serving delicious, locally caught seafood. The town retains much of its original ‘fishing’ atmosphere. The central shopping area houses small cafés where famous Devon cream teas can be enjoyed together with locally made pasties. Quay stands a statue of Prince William of Orange commemorating his landing at Brixham in 1688. A replica of Sir Francis Drake’s Golden Hind can be found in the corner of the Inner Harbour.

A very colourful and vibrant town, well worth a visit. The weather was fantastic which helped to bring the town to life. As you walk around and read all about the towns rich history, wonderful. And we were treated to a show from 6 Morris dancers, in the main part of the town.

Immaculate fishery town with lovely street artwork and carefully tended gardens that are beautifully cared for. There are lots of interesting shops and eateries and colourful housing clinging to the hillside. Car parking in the centre is fairly limited but there is a large multi storey car park hidden away so you will find parking somewhere! We worth a visit. I’d be proud to live here.

Lovely old fishing harbour and now marina which is now the home of the Golden Hind which unfortunately was closed. Makes a lovely stroll around the harbour on a sunny day, probably extremely busy during the summer. Worth a visit.

A very pretty seaside town with plenty of cafes and pubs to choose from if you're in the mood for a drink or bite to eat. By comparison, I visited Torquay the following day and I neither my family or I felt safe walking the streets. Brixham by comparison, a jewel.

What a beautiful place. Absolutely love Brixham and will definitely be back again next year. The harbour is wonderful to watch in action. The backdrop is fantastic too. At night time it looks like it could easily be somewhere more exotic than the UK. Places like this remind you there's more to life than London. I'm planning on maybe one day moving down to Brixham because the place itself just makes me happy. Please do come here because you will not regret it.

This was a nice surprise. Beautiful weather helped. Harbour front full of interesting boats, yachts and fishing boats. Parked in the Harbour car park which wasn't too far from anything.

A super walk with various shops and food places, along with the view of the marina. Well maintained and lovely little garden sections, statues and displays. Well worth a visit, especially as you may catch a glimpse of a seal. Lots of information plaques up on the walls to give a great history to the area.

A very beautiful place to have a stroll around. Plenty of restaurants and shops to keep yourself amused. Good for a day trip. They so have. A beautiful garden by the harbour.

Pretty harbour area. Very clean and visually quaint with some good walks and interesting local businesses. We went on a fine day in March. On a warm summers day with crowds the experience I guess would be somewhat overbearing and stifling.

What a beautiful place to visit. Lots of great little shops to have a look around. The harbour is a lovely place to just sit and watch the world go by! Or enjoy some fish and chips or an ice cream. Next time we are back in the area we will pop by again!

First visit for years and thoroughly enjoyed it. A lot of successful effort has gone into keeping the place atttactive, and it was a delight to walk about there. I imagine it will be very busy in the warmer weather, but it's well worth visiting.

A beautiful place. Views are magnificent. Plenty of eateries all supplying good coffees, cakes etc. The coloured houses hold a nice story too. Very peaceful.

Beautiful place, we have parked at the marina park and walked to lighthouse than around harbour. Ate amazing fish and chips in Rockafish

What a fab find. Such a pretty harbor with a nice long walk around the boats. Beautiful scenery and nice little shops and places to take in the views 😎
