About Coast Path heroes

Spend a week repairing a section of the South West Coast Path.

Feeling fit? Fancy a challenge in a truly outstanding environment? Come and help our ranger team in their efforts to keep our stretch of the South West Coast Path in superb condition. There may be heavy lifting involved, you will be working hard in all weathers, with hand tools, but companionship, cake and a sense of satisfaction at a job well done are reward enough for the effort.

About the accommodation

A stone-built barn that was converted in the 1970s and is situated on the Watersmeet Estate on the North Devon coast. The bunkhouse provides a warm and comfy place to relax after a hard day’s work. There are two dormitories, a leader’s room and bathroom upstairs plus an additional bathroom downstairs. There is a pleasant garden with picnic benches and a barbecue. If you want to venture a little further, there is a delightful country pub a short walk away. The views of the coast and surrounding countryside are dramatic and spectacular.
