Connect with nature, deep in the forest 

Being surrounded by nature can do wonders for our wellbeing which is why we’ve developed a range of forest experiences for the entire family. So even the littlest wild ones can develop an appreciation of the natural world.

Get to grips with geology, venture out on a nocturnal adventure or test your survival skills with a Forest Discovery session. Whatever your interests there’s sure to be something to make your getaway extra special. 

Grab your bucket and spade 

Known for its quintessentially summer climate, Cornwall is a haven for beach lovers. When you stay at Deerpark you’re only 20 minutes away from one of its most vibrant seaside resorts, East Looe Beach. 

Settled in front of a bustling seaside town and sheltered by the iconic Banjo Pier, East Looe Beach is an ideal family friendly beach with loads to offer. In fact, it's known as one of the busiest beaches in the area. 

Hire a few deckchairs and kick back with an ice cream and explore its abundance of independent shops. Keep mini explorers busy with afternoons filled with rockpooling, snorkelling and safe swimming. Then finish off your day by tucking into a traditional cornish pasty from one of the many local bakeries.
