The Future Vision
To us, it seems that while it is extremely important to improve the quality of life in low-income urban areas, it is equally important to offer people a chance to experience other environments, other people’s ways of living, and new ways of learning. That is why we want to create a special place designed to inspire people of all ages, from both rural and urban communities, a place with excellent facilities and a unique character, safe and comfortable but with room to roam and support to take on new challenges.
Help Us Find a Site
We are in the process of looking for a site with the following characteristics preferably (but not exclusively) in the following areas of Somerset and Devon: Exmoor National Park, The Quantocks AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), The Blackdown Hills AONB or North Devon AONB.
The broad priorities for the site are:
- fairly remote yet appealing location
- attractive to tourists with other attractions within 30/40 min drive
- potential for business viability
- good access for disabled people
- sole use of adjacent land including flat areas with good access (5-10 acres)
- access to surrounding land (60-200 acres)
- potential for camping and good provision for parking
- favourable local planning policy
- access to varied landscape, eg woodland, river, moor, hills, beach
- potential for a mix of small and homely spaces with large open plan, light airy, flexible spaces
- Potential for a mix of basic and high quality ensuite accommodation
