Warren Barn is a converted linhay and threshing barn located in the grounds of Cockington Country Park close to Torquay. The centre and park is managed by Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust, a charity which looks after 1800 acres of land across Torbay in South Devon.

The barn lies in a secluded wooded valley, close to Cockington Village, surrounded by 450 acres of country park, which makes it the ideal base for coastal and countryside residential visits.

Thanks to a Lottery grant the barn was converted into a camping barn in 2007.  It includes a large communal kitchen and dining area downstairs with wood burner, modern toilets and showers and separate male and female dormitory accommodation upstairs. There is also a large courtyard outside with BBQ area and pizza oven. The barn is heated by a new Wood Pellet boiler.

The Barn sleeps up to 36 in 2 dorms and has separate bedrooms, one of which is downstairs and doubles as a disabled bedroom with an attached toilet/shower. The ground floor is wheelchair friendly but the upstairs is not fully accessible due to the nature of the building.

Cockington is a traditional 450 acre country estate, complete with manor house, church, formal gardens, village, water-wheel, woodlands, orchards, meadows and pasture. It is famous for its well kept thatched cottages and pleasant environment right on the edge of Torquay and only minutes from the sea-front. It's a landscape full of surprises and views over Torbay, with wildlife and history to match.

The centre has a fully equipped kitchen and provisions can be bought from the Trust's nearby Farm Shop at Occombe Farm. In addition we can supply pre-cooked meals from the farm for groups staying at the Barn.
