Win a Weeklong Castle Stay with The Wayfarers: Walk in the Devon Locations for Steven Spielberg’s War Horse
The Wayfarers and Everett Potter’s Travel Report Team up for
The Wayfarers War Horse Giveaway
We’re thrilled to be giving away The Wayfarers War Horse Giveaway, a Weeklong Castle Stay with The Wayfarers. On this walk with the legendary English walking company, you’ll get to explore Devon, England at the locations for Steven Spielberg’s War Horse movie.
The six-night Pentillie Castle Walk in Devon and Cornwall has been organized and led by The Wayfarers, the quintessential English walking company. The Wayfarers War Horse Giveaway is for two adults, sharing and will be given away in conjunction with Everett Potter’s Travel Report, the travel website that The Wall Street Journal cites as “a terrific mix of profiles and interviews, all designed to make the best use of your travel budget.” The prize is worth $8,500.
Accommodations are in the dramatic Pentillie Castle(built 1698), on the banks of the Tamar River, which forms the border between Devon and Cornwall.
Based on the novel War Horse, by Michael Morpurgo, the story illustrates the true history of how horses were commandeered from the countryside across Britain and used in the World War I effort. The author lives in Devon,England, and his tale was grounded in the culture and countryside of that county.
It’s that countryside that inspired Spielberg, who said “I have never before, in my long and eclectic career, been gifted with such an abundance of natural beauty as I experienced filming War Horse on Dartmoor … And, with two-and-a-half weeks of extensive coverage of landscapes and skies, I hardly scratched the surface of the visual opportunities that were offered to me.”
Led by Muff Dudgeon, Walk Leader, and Dr Tom Greeves, Dartmoor Cultural Historian and Environmentalist, participants will visit Ringmoor Down for beautiful views of the Burrator Reservoir and the hamlet of Sheepstor. There’s also Ditsworthy Warren House, which served Spielberg as the Narracott family home and scene of Joey the horse’s formative years and triumphant homecoming. Contest winners may if they choose take a horseback ride on the Moor in the afternoon to continue in the hoof prints of War Horse (an optional extra for other participants).
Visiting War Horse film sites on Dartmoor is just one day of a fantastic week-long itinerary that encompasses a tour of historic Plymouth (Pilgrim Fathers, Spanish Armada), coastal walking in Cornwall and a visit to a former home of Sir Francis Drake. Gentler coastal estates include Tudor Cotehele with its own quay and stewpond, andMount Edgcumbe with its Grade I Cornish gardens. Pentillie Castle is home for the entire week and The Wayfarers have exclusive use of the property.
The giveaway, which runs from April 1 to 30, 2012, is for one Pentillie Castle Walk prize. The prize is a trip for two adults, sharing one room, on either September 23 to 29, 2012 or October 7 to 13. 2012. Airfare is not included and alternate dates are not available. The winner can use The Wayfarers travel planning services to help them organize their trip. Visit Everett Potter’s Travel Report for full contest details.
