Family weekend: five things to do this Saturday

Five family-tested ways to fill a Saturday without spending a fortune.

1. Cliff Railway + Oddicombe Beach (Babbacombe)

Under a fiver each, takes all afternoon. Pack a picnic.

2. Cockington Court craft studios (Torquay)

Free entry, kids love watching the glassblower. Walled garden, lake, easy walking.

3. Brixham harbour + Golden Hind (Brixham)

Walk the inner harbour, visit the replica ship (under GBP10 per child), eat chips on the quayside.

4. Berry Head walk (Brixham)

Free parking, 2-mile easy circular, cafe at the visitor centre. Spot peregrines on the cliffs.

5. Goodrington Sands + Splashdown (Paignton)

Beach all day, water park if you book ahead. Steam trains pass at the back.
