The Ultimate Guide to Easter in Devon, Cornwall & Somerset

Easter is my favourite time of year not just because of all the fun events that take place at our caravan parks or the chocolate eggs but because IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! As the schools in Devon & Cornwall break up for Easter on Friday I thought I would make a 'what's on' list around our Devon, Cornwall & Somerset holiday parks this Easter.
