Long before pumpkins, costumes and trick-or-treating, Halloween had a much deeper meaning. Rooted in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, it marked the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter, a time when it was believed the boundary between the living and the spirit world grew thin. Over time, traditions developed around remembering and honouring those who had passed before us.

So perhaps this Halloween, alongside the fun and festivities, we can take a quiet moment to remember our ancestors, loved ones and the generations who came before us. 🕯️

As our season draws to a close, we'll still be sharing some of the wonderful places to explore in North Devon and Exmoor throughout the winter, helping you plan some memorable days out when you next visit us.

🏡 Our latest blog takes you on a journey through some of the area's beautiful historic houses and gardens, each with its own fascinating stories and charm.

Perfect inspiration for a day away from the campsite!

I do love a good period drama. Give me a beautiful country house, a sweeping staircase, elegant gardens and a little historical intrigue, and I'm quite happy! (I have to admit I adore the fabulous outfits in these period dramas too, even though personally I prefer to slouch around the house in my tr...

This Sunday, 25th October, the clocks go back an hour, giving us all a welcome extra hour in bed! But have you ever wondered why we change the clocks?

The idea was first championed in Britain by William Willett in 1907, who was frustrated by the amount of daylight people were sleeping through during the summer months.

It wasn't until 1916, during the First World War, that Britain introduced British Summer Time, partly to save fuel by making better use of daylight. And we've been changing our clocks ever since, although the rules have changed a few times along the way!

At 2am on Sunday, the clocks will return to 1am, marking the return to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Will you be enjoying your extra hour in bed or getting up early to make the most of it?

Happy Birthday, Martin! 🎂 Today, 19th October, seems the perfect opportunity to celebrate not just Martin's birthday, but everything he has achieved here at Newberry Valley over the past 20 years.

What began with the previous owners as little more than a hobby campsite has grown into the luxury, award-winning 5-star touring and camping park that so many of you know and love today.

And behind so much of that transformation is Martin.

Through sheer determination, years of hard physical work, an extraordinary range of practical skills and knowledge, and a seemingly endless ability to turn his hand to just about anything, Martin has led the development of Newberry Valley into what it is today.

But his vision has always been about more than building a successful business. It was about creating a home for his family and a beautiful place where others could come to relax, make memories and enjoy the very best of North Devon.

Twenty years of dedication, countless projects and a touch of stress in the mix on occasions too!!

Happy Birthday, Martin, and thank you for making Newberry Valley what it is today! 💚

I noticed on my walk up the park this morning with Remy that our traditional Devon bank is a wonderful haven for wild plants. For anyone who has visisted us in spring, you'll remember that it's carpeted with delightful primroses, but even now, in mid-October, there are still a few gorgeous little wild violets peeping through!

Take a closer look at these photos and you'll discover the incredible diversity of plants, all thriving together in this little part of Newberry Valley. 💚
