Our favourite places to stay on this sleepy Cebu island.
Here’s why you’ll want to add this countryside escape to your UK holiday plans (yes, even if you're already loving London life)
Planning a UK trip soon — or maybe you're already in the UK for work or studies and itching for a quick getaway? This new adventure park on the border of Devon and Cornwall might just be your next lakwatsa spot. It’s packed with giant inflatables, zip lines, high ropes, and chill cabins with countryside views.
Perfect for barkada bonding, a unique date idea, or even a wholesome family weekend, this park mixes high-energy fun with slow, nature-filled moments. You’ll feel like you escaped to another world — but without leaving the UK.
And best of all? It's a budget-friendly alternative to the usual London trips. Fewer crowds, more action, and loads of photo ops for the feed.

When you hear “Devon and Cornwall,” most people picture coastal walks, tea rooms, and peaceful beaches — and while those are amazing, this new park brings a totally different energy. It’s giving full-on field day meets adventure camp vibes.
Massive inflatable obstacle courses
Zip lines flying across tree canopies
Giant outdoor slides
Bouncing pillows (yes, adult-friendly)
Chill zones with cabins and eco-lodges
Some lodges even have hot tubs with countryside views — perfect for winding down after a day of jumping, sliding, and screaming (the fun kind, of course).
The best part? It's built for all ages, so whether you’re a student, young pro, parent, or tita ng barkada, you won’t feel out of place.
If you’re making the trip to Devon and Cornwall, don’t stop at just one park. Here are other nearby adventure hubs worth adding to your itinerary:
Piran Meadows Resort in Newquay

Recently launched new activities like axe throwing, rock climbing, and archery for its 10th anniversary. It's all part of their GoActive programme — great for action-packed weekends.
Sandymouth Holiday Resort in Bude

Named Best in Britain at the Hoseasons Awards. They’ve upped their accommodation game and are known for reliable service, making it a solid choice for comfy countryside stays.
Newquay Holiday Park

Perfect for summer. It has three outdoor pools (including a 200-ft flume), a high ropes course, adventure playgrounds, and live entertainment shows at night. Think mini-festival but chill.
Even with a recent incident of vandalism at the Avalanche Slip n Slide (which they’re fixing), the park scene in this region is thriving.
Let’s be real — we love a good adventure, especially when it’s Instagrammable and worth the budget. Devon and Cornwall tick all the boxes for Filipino travellers:
Affordable staycations that don’t feel cheap
Perfect for groups, couples, or solo trips
Nature and action in one trip
Great photo ops for content lovers
Easy access via train or car from major UK cities
It's ideal for those based in the UK already, like OFWs and international students, or anyone visiting the country and looking for something different from the usual city tours.

Yes — and it’s not that hard. From London, you can get to the Devon and Cornwall region in about 3 to 4 hours by train or 5 to 6 hours by car, depending on the park. For a weekend trip, it’s totally doable. Just make sure to book tickets early if you're travelling during peak seasons. British summers can get crowded.

So if you’re in the UK and craving something different — somewhere you can laugh, explore, and totally disconnect — this spot in Devon and Cornwall is calling. It’s a chill countryside trip, but with all the thrills you’d want from a barkada adventure.
Pack comfy shoes, bring your fave jacket (alam mo na, British weather), and save space in your camera roll. Whether you're an OFW, a student, or just someone who loves discovering hidden gems, this might just be the UK escape you didn’t know you needed.
