On Sunday, we were incredibly proud to co-host Devon's very first Walk for Wellbeing alongside Ilsington Country House Hotel, bringing together hospitality teams from across the county for an unforgettable adventure through Dartmoor National Park.
This year's walk was particularly special as 2026 marks 75 years of Dartmoor National Park. For generations, this extraordinary landscape has offered a place to explore, reconnect with nature and enjoy the great outdoors. A wonderful reminder of the importance of protecting its beauty, wildlife and heritage for years to come.
What better setting to come together for a cause dedicated to wellbeing?
Behind every warm welcome, beautifully prepared meal and memorable stay are the people who make hospitality so special.
That is why we walked for Hospitality Action, a charity dedicated to supporting hospitality professionals and their families through difficult times. From financial hardship to mental health challenges and unexpected illness, their work provides a helping hand when it is needed most.
We are incredibly proud that our Bovey Castle team has raised over £6,900, contributing to more than £12,000 raised collectively across Devon!
A heartfelt thank you to our fellow fundraisers from Ilsington Country House Hotel, Exeter Golf and Country Club, Visit Devon, Food Drink Devon, Devon Hotels Association, Visit Dartmoor, Visit South Devon and Burgh Island Hotel for making this inaugural Devon walk such a memorable occasion.
Special thanks also go to 29 Commando Royal Artillery and St John Ambulance for their invaluable support throughout the day.
To everyone who walked, donated, volunteered or cheered us on, thank you for making Devon's first Walk for Wellbeing something truly special.
The walking boots may be off, but there is still time to support our fundraising. 💜
