Calvert Trust provides outdoor activities for people with disabilities, together with their friends and family. In Exmoor, the Lake District or Northumbria, guests can climb, abseil, sail, kayak, canoe, horse ride, carriage drive, do archery and have fun on the zipwire. If a guest can't leave their wheelchair we abseil them in their wheelchair. So, if you want some real adventure that's all about what you CAN do, come and stay!
Lin Berwick, who is blind, has cerebral palsy and is a wheelchair user, founded the Trust in 1989 because of the frustration and difficulty she experienced in finding suitable holiday accommodation. The Trust has a board of 11 Trustees, a full-time Administrator and a part-time Caretaker.
It opened its first house, Berwick Cottage, in East Harling, Norfolk in 1997, which has been a resounding success, receiving the highest accolades from Tourism for All (formerly Holiday Care).
Situated in Ciliau Aeron, Ceredigion, West Wales just two miles from the picturesque harbour town of Aberaeron, the holiday centre is set amongst mature woodlands on the banks of the river Aeron. Guests have unlimited access to the beautifully restored walled garden and adventure playground which is fully accessible to wheelchair users.
