Holsworthy Gold Panning Experience

Jason  Worman

My two teenage sons and I had a great time gold panning at Holsworthy. Paul was really friendly and knowledgeable and made it an enjoyable and interesting experience. 

Andrew Farrow

Great experience Paul our host was brilliant and will definitely be visiting again as two hours just didn’t feel long enough and the kids loved it 

Lucy McCann

Despite a grey and mizzley day, we had a great time panning for gold. Thank you for all the interesting back stories and guidance, and for letting us keep our little chunk of pyrite! 

Chris Hall

I brought this experience for my wife's birthday and totally enjoyed it. Paul our host was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this exexperience.

Susan  Davies

We had such a good time,  thank you Paul! We chose this activity as a family trying to balance the needs of two quite different tweenage/teenage boys, and it was perfect! Loved learning about the geological history of the local area before giving panning a go - some of us more successfully than others! We'd definitely do this again! Great fun!

Gary Spicer

Interesting couple of hours. Learning about the geology and a bit of history of the area. Great to get hands on, first time panning. Can see why it’s addictive. 

Gill Leaning

We came gold panning last year & the kids were desperate to come back & do it again this year! 

Peter Watkins

Paul was Amazing! Very knowledgeable, engaging and patient! We had such a lovely couple of hours and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Would highly recommend! 

A real gold panning experience in the heart of the Devon countryside.  Great fun for everyone!  Join the Devon Gold Rush!
