Grand Western Canal at Tiverton - take a trip on the last horse-drawn barge in the country along this peaceful waterway. Alternatively walk or cycle along the towpath or take to the water under your own steam by hiring a kayak or rowing boat from the canal basin. Fascinating visitor centre, great playground, Duck's Ditty floating bar and nearby Canal Tea Rooms for fabulous cream teas. (The horse drawn barge, bar and tea rooms are seasonal so check opening times).

Coldharbour Mill at Uffculme - if you like history then a visit to this working woollen mill is a must, particularly if your visit coincides with a steam up day (check their website for dates). There is a coffee shop at the museum and lovely walking along the River Culm, if you like all the way to Culmstock and back along the river meadows and through woodland.
