Welcome
to Halberton
Winner of
the CALOR
VILLAGE OF THE YEARŽ COMPETITION 2007 for Devon
Halberton is a
large rural Parish in the County of Devon between the towns of
Tiverton and Cullompton, close
to the city of Exeter. Outside the village are several small communities and the
hamlets of Ash Thomas and
Brithem Bottom. We are also
lucky to have The Grand
Western Canal which meanders through the Parish
and is a designated
Country Park.

NEWS!!
Tour
of Britain Cycle Race 2008 comes to Halberton
On
the 9th September between 11am and 11.30am the Tour of Britain
Cyclists will be coming through Halberton High Street. A
fantastic opportunity for us all to be part of an
International Competition. The cyclists will be leaving
Chard early that morning and going on through the centre of
Tiverton. The time trial section for that day will be
taking place on the road through Blundells School, we have
been trying to work out how we can spectate at both - if you
can please let the rest of us know!! You can find out
more about the Tour of Britain at www.tourofbritain.co.uk,
and as always if you get some good photos I would love to have
them for the website.
Another group of cyclists have been enjoying the Canal, a
group of special needs young adults made local television and
press in July using specially adapted bikes donated by Mencap.
The pleasure that can be seen on these youngsters faces is a
joy to behold. Tracey Seymour of the Puzzletree Centre
in Okehampton must be congratulated for her 'Who dares wins'
attitude in trialling these bikes, and to Jean, Jennifer and
Shawn for being the guinea-pigs - our thanks to you all for
getting this scheme off the ground. Please contact Jo
(details below) for more information about the use of these
bikes.
