Challenging Disability Through Outdoor Adventure

Last updated: 01/03/2023

Calvert Trust Exmoor is an Outdoor Adventure Centre set in 44 acres of spectacular landscape high on the edge of Exmoor. Its objective is to enable people of all ages with physical, learning, sensory and behavioural disabilities to achieve their potential through adventurous activities. 

Our award winning centre offers great facilities for your holiday, with accessible accommodation, exciting activities and delicious food prepared daily on site by our qualified chefs.

Through the challenge of outdoor activities, and with the help of our highly experienced and friendly instructors, all our guests have the opportunity to develop new skills, make new friends, build self-confidence and greater independence. By the time they leave, our hope is that their physical and mental wellbeing is improved.

Our visitors come to us with a range of abilities and many have multiple and high needs. We welcome all ages, from the very young to the very elderly. We often work closely with other organisations, including schools and charities in order to reach those who are likely to benefit the most. Our inclusive activities are tailored to ensure every visitor is challenged and stimulated.

We would love to welcome you to Calvert Trust Exmoor, where it's what you can do that counts.
