Roborough Playing Fields

Honestly, if you want somewhere to just breathe and let the kids run without the noise of a crowded park, this is the spot. The open grass field is proper generous — enough room for a decent kickabout or to spread out a picnic blanket without feeling on top of other people. There’s a basketball court too, which gives older kids and teens something to actually do. Winkleigh’s a quiet village anyway, but Roborough Playing Fields has that extra layer of calm that makes an afternoon here feel genuinely unhurried. Suits everyone from toddlers tearing about on the grass to grandparents watching from a blanket — it just works.
