CALVERT TRUST - ADVENTURE AND ACTIVITY The Calvert Trust has three centres across England, each
of which has been carefully designed to offer fully accessible catered
and self-catering accommodation, along with a wide selection of adventurous
outdoor activities.
An amazing experince
The Calvert
Trust, which was established in 1974, has a centre at Wistlandpound close to Barnstaple on the West side of Exmoor. Experienced Trust staff
provide the professional help and expertise necessary to enable their
visitors to get the most out of their stay - whether they are a beginner
or already have some experience in any of the activities offered.The centre has a climbing wall where you can learn new
skills or further develop those you already have. A selection of safety
equipment and adapted safety equipment enables many more people to experience
what it is like to try climbing, abseiling, orienteering and cycling.Water activities are a mainstay of the Centre: Exmoor is
beside Wistlandpound Reservoir in Devon. Options include Sailing, Canoeing,
Canoe Rafting and Kayaking, with each activity geared towards the needs
of both groups and individuals. If you wish to progress your skills,
you can book onto a dedicated course. Alternatively, if you just wish
to try what it feels like to be out on the water, the option is there
whether it be in a motor cruiser, a canoe or a sailing dinghy.Horse riding and Pony Driving also operate, where you can
let the hooves take the strain (lessons are also available). If these
or other outdoor activities (such as archery and orienteering) are not
enough for you, each centre has an indoor swimming pool and sports hall
(a place to play games, gather of an evening or have a disco!), while
two of the centres have either a sauna or jacuzzi for you to relax in
after a strenuous day's activity.A stay in one of the Calvert Trust centres includes all
your activities, meals and accommodation. Alternatively, you can opt
for self-catering accommodation, varying from Farmhouse style units through
to log chalets. For further information, check out their web site (Calvert
