Where to break journey - Wlits to Cornwall

[thismonkeyhere]

Very mundane compared to the other threads.

Looking for somewhere to break the journey with the kids - castle or farm or something, on journey Wiltshire to Cornwall, M4, M5, A30 - roughly half way and not too much of a detour.

I was all set on Diggerland, then realised it's not open on the day we're travelling.

I was going to suggest Stonehenge until I realised it was in Wiltshire. Duh.

Woolacombe? Nice beach so a good ice cream stop, although perhaps a little off the track.

We stopped at Dartmoor Zoo (from film fame) on the way down. Quite cute, reasonably small, reasonably expensive.
However, if you keep your ticket you can stop in Plymouth on the way back up and visit the national aquarium for half price.

(or vice-vera I suppose)

[Paul Dishman]

Woolacombe's miles out of your way and Dartmoor Zoo is off the A38 and that sends you towards Plymouth and then a slower road into Cornwall.

I'd consider Crealy -its about 10 minutes from the M5 at Exeter
