National Trust English Riviera

Sabina Collier of the National Trust sent us details of the NT's English Riviera portfolio, which comprises a number of interesting properties and sites.

The charity's South Devon holding has been known since May 2011 as English Riviera Properties (see the WMN) and locations include Greenway House (Agatha Christie's holiday home); Coleton Fishacre (holiday home of the D'Oyly Carte family); Compton Castle; Bradley Manor; and Overbeck's house and garden.

The Devon National Trust properties have an excellent range of activities, such as woodworking courses and themed events, before and after the Christmas period. See Twitter (www.twitter.com/ntriviera) or Facebook (www.facebook.com/NTEnglishRiviera) for an ongoing schedule.
