Summer bridge in the Devonshire Countryside
Join Colin Simcox on this summer Bridge holiday in the heart of the delightful Devonshire countryside. Lying in the Exe Valley, the market town of Tiverton is a gateway to both Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks, and when not playing Bridge there’s plenty to explore.
The historic Grade one, Bicton Botanical Gardens have been conferred with the highest conservation status by English Heritage. Knightshayes Court, a fine Victorian House belonging to the National Trust is worthy of a visit, as is Powderham Castle, which has been the family home of the Earl of Devon for over 600 years. Golfers will appreciate the 18-hole course at Tiverton, considered one of Devon’s finest parkland courses.
We’ll be staying in the comfortable Best Western Hotel, which is just a pleasant stroll from Tiverton’s picturesque town centre. It is highly recommended on Trip Advisor, with a certificate of excellence, as well as with our own First for Bridge and Arena Rail guests who praised the excellent dining, and welcoming staff. We play Bridge in a beautifully light and spacious bridge room, and guests can enjoy the comfortable bar area with sofas and armchairs, ideal for gathering before and after bridge sessions.
