Family activities are new for Yarner for 2012.

Family activities are new for Yarner for 2012.

We'd like to invite more people into our grade II medieval buildings to enjoy the

experience of the 'jewel in north Devon's crown'.

These activities are subsidized by Yarner to encourage family visits and to inspire working together in families. Most of our guests are adults visiting to participate in our rural skills courses or volunteer program.

Hidden Gem

We're located in a small village called Welcombe, just a mile from the sea, and on

north Devon's Heritage Coast path. We're also within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the beach at Welcombe Mouth is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and owned by the National Trust. It's well worth a visit to Welcombe if you're staying in Devon or Cornwall.

You can visit Welcombe Pottery and the thatched Smithy Inn after your family activities. If the weather's lovely and the tide is out, you'll find a spectacular sandy beach at Welcombe Mouth that very few visitors know about, it's our 'hidden gem!'.

History

Welcombe Barton was built in 1350 and was the manor house of the village.

The name Barton comes from here meaning barley and ton meaning store.

The Yarner Trust has promoted sustainable and creative living for over 30 years.
