Run some of the SW Coast Path’s best routes with a top GB UK trail runner, get to grips with your open water swimming technique and learn yoga from our experienced instructor and nutrition and healthy cooking tips from our catering team.

Our yoga and running retreats are chosen for their stunning locations and this one is in a league of its own. Perched atop the cliffs overlooking Gara Rocks near East Portlemouth in Devon, the High Nature Centre occupies an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Nestled between sandy beaches, Salcombe and East Prawle right next to the South West Coast Path, this retreat offers breathtaking views, inspiring running routes, hand grown produce and communal meals, hot showers and if you really want, a spa which is less than 400 metres away.

All running and swimming abilities are welcome and each run is tailored around your individual needs, as faster runners can regroup and get their kicks in, while slower and less experienced runners are also welcome.

Long and short run options between 4 to 10 miles.

Our business intends to be accommodating, thoughtful and original, at arm’s length from the blandness of a standard corporate event. We will aim to deliver this in a relaxed, approachable style, using our own strengths, rather than those borrowed from a marketing manual. Our USP is based on our wellspring of experience and ours alone, which can’t be replicated elsewhere. We strive to be environmentally and ecologically conscious and to connect with our community through all of our initiatives and we will partner with similar minded or

Running was just an excuse to be there, for me this camp was about meeting like minded people to interact with and have fun, carefully curated by an experienced running guru with his own tales to tell.

I had a good time. I really enjoyed the fell running. The Southern Lakes is a beautiful area.

A great weekend away with a fab group of people. A good physical workout, and an ideal way to unwind mentally from the rat race. I will definitely come to another one in the future.

I attended the Wales yoga and running weekend in November. Relaxed, inclusive of all abilities and restorative. Ceri fostered a friendly atmosphere which brought the group together. Some beautiful and challenging runs with Ceri, and we were also accompanied by knowledgeable local guides. I look forward to the next one.

I had such a brilliant time on this running camp. It was a lovely group of non judgemental, interesting people with a shared passion for running. The fells were absolutely stunning. Ceri was a fab leader who lined up everything for us. We had delicious dinners both nights- including a much needed Indian after the 18k. We were also joined by Brett and Liz who had a lovely energy and were very inspiring. Altogether, thoroughly recommend and I will be joining Ceri again.

Recently took part in wilid runnings trail weekend with my partner near Brecon. A great weekend with some great people . The sceanery was stunning and Ceri was always on hand to offer advice , Also so was Liz . The trip is for all abilities,however it's in the black mountains / Brecon beacons so there is no hiding from the elevation. Do not let that put you off though ,no one is left behind no matter if you run wallk or crawl to the top . It's a relaxed environment and no pressure . Well done ceri and Liz we both had a great weekend thanks .

Over the past few years I have attended several Wild Running camps on Dartmoor and in the Brecon Beacons. They have all been filled with great running and yoga, fabulous scenery, delicious food and interesting company. Ceri creates a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and is brilliant at accommodating all levels of running ability. He has many interesting insights into all aspects of running and links with the worlds of literature and journalism. Ceri is the only person I know who has written a poem about one of their events! He also a genuine interest and awareness of issues going beyond running, especially inclusivity, diversity and environmental responsibility. Probably because of this his camps tend to attract other interesting and thoughtful people and create memorable conversations and lasting friendships. I look forward to being back on another Wild Running camp very soon.
