A major new splash attraction has opened in the West Country ahead of the summer holidays - and it is less than two hours from Bristol.
The new Forest Run splash pad at Cofton Holidays in Dawlish offers visitors the chance to cool off and have fun during the hot weather.
Designed with the look and feel of a forested woodland area, the new splash attraction features nine woodland run posts, two drencher buckets, a forest splash twin tipper, one water spray shooter canon, and several water sprinklers. The splash pad will be open throughout the summer and until the end of October.

Chris Jeffery, director at Cofton Holidays, said: “It gives us great pleasure to officially launch our new splash attraction, which is already proving very popular with our guests.
"Ideal for the hot weather, Forest Run is a fun and refreshing opportunity for adults and families to keep cool and get wet as the mercury continues to rise.
"Alongside our spa facilities and pools, we’re proud to offer some of the best splash and swimming opportunities in the region."
The new splash attraction at Cofton Holidays builds on the park’s existing swimming and spa offering, which includes large indoor and outdoor pools, a steam room, a sauna, and a modern gym.

Ideal for families, Cofton Holidays also offers a pump track and a multi-use games area, as well as an indoor soft play area for children ages under 8 years old, an indoor swimming pool, and an amusement arcade.
