The MT Evo has been adapted for users with limited hand function and was developed with close feedback from tetraplegics, quadriplegics and various people with limited hand function. It provides the same excellent off road performance to that of the Mountain Trike, but with simpler controls – a simple pivoting handle operates the disc brakes by moving your arm inwards and it is recommended use with Active Hands gripping aid meaning the system requires no finger function to operate. Ergonomic loops give an easy to use method of drive engagement. It allows users to have the confidence in their ability to fully control the braking, steering and pushing of the MT Evo no matter what terrain you tackle.
The MT Push has very similar features to that of the Mountain Trike, however the unique lever drive system has been removed and replaced with a push handle, located behind the rider which is where the steering and braking takes place by the riders buddy. Adjustable arm rests have been added for rider comfort. The MT Push provides inclusive access to a wide variety of terrain – mud, gravel, grass, snow, sand and uneven pathways. It is suited for riders who aren’t able to self-propel but still want to enjoy the outdoors with friends and family.

Chirk Castle
Chirk Castle is the only one of Edward I’s marcher fortresses still inhabited today. The area of the castle with the most visually original features is the West Range, where visitors can still explore the Adam Tower, complete with its two-level dungeons, medieval garderobes (toilets) and murder holes.
On most days visitors can meet our castle garrison who will be happy to demonstrate weapons, allow you to feel the weight of the armour, and even take our younger visitors through a pike drill so they can defend the castle – be careful you’re not put in the stocks!
Count House sits in the heart of Poldark Country, high on the cliffs of West Cornwall and surrounded by remnants of the mining industry. The small stone cottage was once a workshop for the mine’s carpenter, and now hosts a cosy one-bedroom nook, with lots of character. Step inside to a small but atmospheric space, where timber frames extend up the high ceilings and large windows stream in light from the open seascape. There’s a stand-alone log burner too; perfect for when Atlantic storms lash the coast.
A charming 15th-century manor house with Arts and Crafts garden.
Great Chalfield Manor has seen several owners and several changes over the centuries, but in the early twentieth century Major Robert Fuller restored it to reflect it roots.
Discover Great Chalfield Manor
Great Chalfield Manor was built ca.1465 by Thomas Tropenell, a wealthy business man who built and acquired several large estates during his time. At the heart of the house lies the Hall, flanked by unusually symmetrical gable cross wings and oriel windows.
This relaxed and atmospheric house is set in the 1950s, when Agatha and her family would spend summers and Christmases here with friends, relaxing by the river, playing croquet and clock golf, and reading her latest mystery to their guests.
The family were great collectors, and the house is filled with an important and varied collection of ceramics, Tunbridgeware, silver, and books, including first editions of her novels. It is also home to archaeological artefacts acquired in the Middle East where Agatha accompanied her husband, archaeologist Max Mallowan on excavations. In the library a frieze was painted in 1944 when the house was requisitioned by the US Coastguards as part of the preparations for D-Day.
Originally a stage-set for summer parties, the house provides a glimpse into life at the turn of the eighteenth century.
