Lee Abbey Retreat

for 1 day, 22 hours
Lee Abbey
Lynton Devon, EX35 6JJ

Lee Abbey is set on the spectacular North Devon Coast, in the Exmoor National Park. It is a Christian Community which provides retreats and holidays in a Christian setting. Each year, the Chalke Valley Benefice arranges a weekend away at this beautiful place. You are most welcome to join us.

This is an opportunity to see your old friends and meet some new ones, a happy, fun and inclusive atmosphere, good food, stunning scenery and a chance to think about faith. You can be as involved in all the activities as you wish or just take the opportunity to relax and be with friends.

We welcome everyone - and it is for all the family - some families come with three generations. So invite your friends and family, and let’s make this our 15th year a very special weekend. We are hoping to have 110 people in the main house.

What's included
* Accommodation on Friday and Saturday night
* All meals from Friday evening through to Sunday Lunch. A glass of wine with dinner on Saturday
* Talks by the Lee Valley team
* Prayer ministry, and Christ in Quiet in the Chapel
* A variety of walks from a gentle stroll to an energetic hike
* Tea time activities – craft workshop – men's discussion – prayer walk
* A separate programme for children
* Saturday night - An Evening with Simeon Wood

Bishopstone: St John the Baptist

Set in the middle of the Chalke Valley, Bishopstone (pop 684) is a thriving village community with a good mix of young families and retired residents. Whilst lacking an obvious ‘centre’ there is plenty going on in the village, with a well-used village hall that hosts a wide range of events, from Moviola nights to a lively playgroup. There is also a village pub, popular with families, and a recently improved village playground. The church sits approximately one mile from the rest of the village, in a beautiful riverside setting. The village is in catchment for both Coombe Bissett and Broad Chalke primary schools.
