Centre location

The centre is in the heart of North Devon, a short drive from Barnstaple, and a little over an hour north-west of Exeter city.

Exmoor National Park is right on the doorstep, stretching away in the distance. Plus, stunning rural countryside and beautiful golden beaches are all within touching distance.

Take a look at where we are using the interactive map below:

Calvert Devon is at the edge of Wistlandpound Reservoir, near Blackmoor Gate in North Devon. You’ll find green fields, beautiful pine forests and rippling streams on the doorstep.

It’s a stunning but remote location, therefore having a car or access to easy transport to the centre is essential. 

By Train

• Services such as Trainline will provide train tickets for Barnstaple, which is our nearest station
• From Barnstaple train station to the Calvert Devon centre it is at least ten miles, depending on your route through the countryside, about 30 minutes or so by car or taxi
• On request, we can send you a list of local, accessible taxi firms that could collect and drop off to Barnstaple (BNP) or Tiverton Parkway Stations (TVP)
• The closest bus stop is Blackmoor Gate, where buses 309 and 310 between Barnstaple and Lynton stop. It’s then approximately half a mile to the centre, but please note, these roads are busy and narrow with no pavements or safe crossing spots.

The Centre is situated 2 hours from Bristol or Plymouth and just over an hour from Exeter
