Fishing in Devon and some Nocturnal Activity on the Side!


Nocturnal Activity


Fancy a spot of fishing in Devon - why not pick Newbarn Farm for your angling needs. Here we have eight 4 star luxury self-catering cottages with fishing. And that's not all thriving within the boundaries of the farm's outer hedges.

For several months now Richard and his team have been clearing the densely populated copse at the bottom of Eleven Acre field, paths have been cleared and brambles thinned to allow access through this beautiful haven to wildlife. Boxes for the Barn Owl, Tawny Owl, Bats, Insects, Dormice, Various Tits and Treecreepers have all now been erected for nesting purposes early next Spring when the woodland bluebell will be in full bloom making this a truly magical home for our wildlfe friends! More of our wildlife friends have been making appearances throughout the night - here are just a few of the inhabitants of Newbarn Farm's Nature Trail!

So come and give us a go! You never know what you may catch or glimpse on your Fishing in Devon Holiday here at Newbarn Farm!
