The Trust
Warcombe Farm Christian Trust was established about 25 years ago by a group of Christians when we had the opportunity to purchase 8 acres of land and the buildings at Warcombe Farm, Lee Bay in North Devon. Included within the purchase was a field that had been used for camping as a Boys Brigade campsite for many years prior to the purchase.
The aim of Warcombe Farm Trust is to provide camping and holiday accommodation, predominantly but not exclusively for groups of young people from youth groups, schools, church groups and other youth organisations.
The camping facilities are used regularly throughout the summer holiday season by groups ranging from 15-100 in number, with many groups returning to the site regularly.
