Set in a spectacular ancient valley, Dartmoor's famous Becky Falls has been delighting visitors since 1903 — and no trip to Devon is complete without a visit.

Explore over 50 acres of woodland and streams, rich in wildlife. Choose from three colour-coded trails:

• Blue Trail – wander through ancient oak woodland and enjoy the Children's Nature Trail (with a prize for every child)
• Red Trail – discover our dramatic 70ft waterfall
• Purple Trail – more rugged terrain with lower falls views and a fun boulder scramble

Animal lovers can explore our small zoo and exotics house, home to ponies, skunks, reptiles, and more. Join hourly Meet-the-Keeper talks (11am–4pm) — check the 'What's On' board when you arrive for today's topics.

For something extra special, pre-book an up-close animal experience such as a Reptile Encounter or Junior Keeper Experience.

Don't forget to visit our licensed woodland café and gift shop. Dogs are very welcome too!

A perfect Dartmoor day out for all ages.
