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
