River Haven Update from Noel Edmonds

After visiting The Sanctuary and witnessing the devastation caused by the floods, Noel reflects that everything happens for a reason — even when the reason isn’t yet clear. For now, the vineyard is operating as usual, but River Haven remains closed, as the surrounding roads have been severely damaged, leaving parts of the access route perilously close to a sheer drop. In this heartfelt update, Noel opens up about the difficult decision to remain closed, walking through the site of The Sanctuary and sharing the reality of the destruction and its emotional impact on the area.
