Last week we were invited along to a new attraction in Cullompton Devon called The Bear Trail.

The Bear Trail

Brand new kids adventure trail for all the family

He who Bears…Wins!

The brand new Bear Trail in Cullompton Devon

It’s an outdoor adventure trail, where both children and adults can run, jump and climb, complete with mud pits! The trail is for all ages and there is also a play area for younger children. For anyone that doesn’t want to do the trail there is also a woodchip path that follows along the trail so you can follow your children without getting muddy yourself.

What To Pack

There are a few things that would be handy to have for you visit so I thought I would list them for you…

  • Clothes that you don’t mind getting wet and muddy.
  • Spare clothes to get changed into afterwards
  • Suitable footwear. My two wore crocs which actually worked really well as they are wipe clean
  • A towel for the shower (No shampoo or shower gel allowed though)
  • Swimmers for the shower as it’s an outdoor shower
  • Picnic if you don’t want to buy food from the cafe
  • Picnic blanket in case the benches are all taken
  • A plastic bag to put wet/muddy clothes in afterwards
  • Baby wipes to wash off any excess mud

We really didn’t go prepared for the trail as it hadn’t been raining so I thought it would be dry. What I didn’t realise was that there were actually mud pits there which of course the kids went straight into. In hindsight what I should have done is put them in their swimmers with a t-shirt on top and let them get on with it. Then when they were done just put them into the shower to wash the mud off. I will do this next time!

In Conclusion

So to sum it up my two had a fantastic time at The Bear Trail, they got incredibly muddy as did my car which was Mummy’s fault for being unprepared, like usual. I loved the fact that we could take the dog, you just have to keep them on a lead and obviously clear up after them. Dog bins are provided on the site.

I also liked the fact that you could stay for the whole day. To find out more visit The Bear Trail website.
