The Countryside Education Trust

Our mission is to connect people with the countryside from our beautiful sites in the New Forest with playgroups, and visits from the older members of our community, residential and day school trips, countryside events and holiday activities

We run a residential centre on a farm in a forest by a river near the sea – how lucky can you be! School groups visit during term time, but we also run day visits in line with the requirements of the national curriculum. On top of that family groups and clubs can come and stay at weekends and in the holidays and we are happy to help people get the most out of their visits. Our community programme ranges from arts to living wild – we have been in this business for 40 years!
