Tips for a Smooth Day Out
- Pre-book tickets in peak seasons to skip queues and secure your preferred times.
- Pack layers—coast and countryside weather can change quickly.
- Strollers & accessibility: Clovelly’s historic, steep cobbles aren’t stroller-friendly; consider a carrier for little ones. Most parks have accessible facilities—check their access pages before you go.
Picnic or café? All the parks have cafés; many also have picnic spots if you prefer to bring your own.
