Activities

Devon is built for adventure. Our corporate packages can include:

  • Coastal e-bike tours and scenic rides along the Tarka Trail.

  • Paddleboarding or kayaking in calm estuaries and secluded bays.

  • Guided hikes across Dartmoor or Exmoor National Park. We highly recommend routes along the South West Coastal path which gives breathtaking views. 

  • Team challenges and problem-solving activities in forest or beach settings. From beach challenges in the sand to estate based adventures. 

  • Creative workshops — from outdoor cooking to indoor challenges  in a country estate (such as VR!)

  • Evening socials such as local gin tastings, BBQs, or a good old fashioned knees up party.

Every activity is tailored to your team’s goals — from building trust to simply helping colleagues get together and re-connect.

Accommodation 

From luxury country estates to modern coastal hotels and exclusive self-catering barns, Devon has something for every style of company getaway.

  • High-end manor houses  Perect for large corporate groups wanting full exclusivity. If you’re looking for luxury, we love the mole resort in the north and the kingston estate in the south.

  • Boutique coastal hotels in areas like Saunton, Woolacombe, and Salcombe — perfect for incentive trips with sea views. Get the perfect views at Saunton sands in the north or The Gara Rock down south.

  • Converted farm stays and lodges — great for informal team-building retreats with bonfires, BBQs, and private meeting spaces.

Urban Off Switch partners with a range of trusted accommodation providers to suit your team size, budget, and preferred vibe — from refined to rustic. Perfect for Devon team building adventures.

The Scenery

Devon’s landscape has it all.
Golden beaches, rugged cliffs, deep valleys, and endless green countryside. Devon gives you various options of terrain to suit your chosen activities.

Many of our events take advantage of this variety, combining coastal exploration with moorland escapes. Conference meetings can happen with a sea view; by afternoon you could be cycling over rolling hills or kayaking past seals.

The National Parks

Devon is home to two of the UK’s most iconic national parks:

  • Dartmoor National Park — wild, open moorland, granite tors, and hidden rivers. Perfect for adventure-based challenges, hikes, or orienteering events.

  • Exmoor National Park — rolling hills, woodlands, and dramatic sea cliffs. Great for scenic walks, photography, and wildlife spotting.

Both offer incredible venues and natural spaces ideal for group bonding, reflection, and creativity.

Accessibility from London and Beyond

Devon is surprisingly easy to reach:

  • By train: Direct GWR services from London Paddington to Exeter in around 2.5 – 3.5 hours. Onward trains avaiable to the north (barnstaple) or down south. We can arrange pick up from Exeter straight to your chosen site. 

  • By car: The M5 heads straight down to devon for easy access by car.

  • By air: Exeter Airport provides connections from major UK and European cities.

Devon is ideal for corporate team-building from London, Bristol, Cardiff, and Birmingham and more — remote enough to reset, yet close enough for short breaks or weekend retreats.

Team Building Ideas in Devon: Unforgettable Outdoor Adventures for Your Team

Looking for team-building ideas in Devon? From the dramatic North Devon coastline to the wide-open moors of the south, Devon is one of the best places in the UK for teams to switch off, reconnect, and enjoy the outdoors. Here are some of our most popular Devon team-building activities — perfect for corporate groups, away days, and company retreats.

Point-to-Point Adventure (Exmoor)

Exmoor National Park offers some of the most stunning scenery in the region, making it ideal for a point-to-point team-building adventure. Start high on the moors, hike or bike through wild open landscapes, and finish down on the coast with a well-earned drink. This experience works perfectly for corporate groups who want a mix of challenge, nature, and downtime — and it’s even better on e-bikes.

Hike & Bike Adventure – North Devon Coast & Tarka Trail

If you want a memorable outdoor challenge, the Hike and Bike Adventure is a Devon team-building favourite.

  • Hike a spectacular section of the South West Coast Path with views over Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton.

  • Switch to bikes and follow the flat, scenic Tarka Trail, one of North Devon’s best cycling routes.

  • Finish with food overlooking Instow Beach as the sun sets.

You can also run this route in reverse to finish right at your accommodation, whether that’s Saunton Sands Hotel or the 5-star Woolacombe Bay Hotel. Ideal for corporate away days that want adventure without pushing too far outside comfort zones.

Team Relay at Your Estate Accommodation

If you’re staying at a private estate or hotel in Devon, our on-site team relay challenge is the perfect way to bring everyone together. Each team member takes on a different task:

  • A bike ride around a marked route

  • A VR problem-solving challenge

  • A final navigation section where the whole team works together

It’s fun, low-pressure, and great for groups that want team building without leaving their accommodation.

Whether you’re planning a full corporate retreat in Devon or a simple team-building activity near North Devon, we can design a day that fits your group perfectly.
