The Facts

The Flete Estate situated on the South Devon coast is a privately owned country estate stretching over 5000 acres. Lying at the mouth of the Erme Estuary in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Flete fits the bill as ideal for trail runners. Closed to the general public all year, we thoroughly recommend joining us and taking to the trails to explore the private woodlands, coastal paths and beaches.

The location has been used in a number of film productions, including Sense and Sensibility and Hornblower, and is only a short drive away from the historic towns of Salcombe and Dartmouth

Parking

Car parking is provided free at this CTS Event.

Please follow signage and Marshals instructions upon arrival. Due to the small, sensitive locations used for the CTS events, in some instances parking may be located a short walk from the event base - a nice little warm up! We also ask, due to contingency arrangements, that you bring some change for car parking in case you are required to park in our backup locations (in such instances you may well also be taken by bus to the event - so please be aware of this too!). Your patience when such situations occur is very much appreciated. Endurancelife strongly advocate car sharing and our Facebook site is a good medium for this.
