The Location: This year we have changed the accommodation and the emphasis in our Devon holiday, although we are delighted to report that our partnership with Sallie Rutledge and her wonderful team from The Mede will continue. We have tweaked the itinerary to make it more active and suitable for those with good mobility. There are gorgeous coastal walks right from the doorstep, water sports and a wealth of local attractions. We will visit gardens and Heritage towns well lov...ed by generations of holidaymakers, like Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton, take a boat trip on the River Exe and have the opportunity to see the beautiful Devon Countryside. Enjoy the exhilaration of this beautiful part of the South Devon Coast.
This holiday would now be particularly suitable for people with good mobility. Please call us to discuss whether this would be a good break for you.
Your Accommodation: This break is run in partnership with Sallie Rutledge of The Mede.
The Beach House is full of character, quirky and luxurious with a pool and hot tub. There is easy access to the beach and the coastal footpath. There are a couple of steps to the front door, and along with the huge reception rooms downstairs where it will always be possible to find a quiet corner. Upstairs there are plenty of double and twin bedrooms, all spacious with en-suite bathrooms and some with sea views.

The Location We have chosen to base our Cornish Adventure in the Bodmin area due to its proximity to a number of attractions. The Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Charlestown, with its shipwreck centre and picturesque harbour, not to mention a wealth of beautiful beaches.
There are wonderful walks along cliff-top paths and the coastline is dotted with pretty coves and charming old fishing ports such as Mevagissey. Also close by are the Cornish moorlands for a bla...st of fresh air and old tin-mine memorabilia.
Your Accommodation For this holiday we have chosen the large and well-designed accommodation at Tor View Centre, a working farm set a way back from the coast up towards the moors. This is an upside down house, with accessible bedrooms on the lower floor and a stair-lift to reach the common areas upstairs, we can welcome people with some mobility needs on this break.

The Simplyhealth Great North Run is the world's biggest half marathon, with more than 57,000 runners pounding the streets of Newcastle.
Starting in Newcastle upon Tyne the 13.1 mile route takes runners through the city centre towards the River Tyne where thousands of people will cross over the iconic Tyne Bridge, where if you're lucky, you might get a glimpse of the Red Arrows passing overhead.
From there runners will travel through Gateshead while being entertained by Bands ...on the Run. The route, lined by thousands of supporters, leads runners to South Shields where at the top of Prince Edward Road the view of the sea is one of the most welcoming sights along the whole course.
From that point there is just over a mile to go and the crowds get louder as runners make their way down the final straight towards the finish line."
Are you ready for the challenge in 2019?
