25 free things to do when visiting the South West Lakes

Experience the best things to do outdoors and get your children learning about nature. There’s masses of things to do at our South West lakes – discover wildlife, identify trees, build a bug hotel or make nature art.

Create your own mini adventure on a day out in Cornwall, Devon or Exmoor – go for a walk with the kids and see how much you can spot, identify or try for the very first time. There’s no better way to spend quality time together as a family than getting outdoors and doing something together, creating memories and sharing sacred moments.
