The
MWE Centre and Facilities...
Our centre is a converted manor farm set in four acres
of grounds, amongst rolling Devonshire farmland.
On-site we have an assault course, high wire apparatus, zip line, climbing wall, archery range, playing field and orienteering course.
Ideally situated for both the South Devon coastline and Dartmoor National Park and in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), closeby are numerous tidal estuaries, rocky shore-lines, surfing beaches, white
water rivers, moorland and climbing crags, all of which create the ideal setting
from which to run field study or adventurous activity courses.
The nearest
town is Kingsbridge and the closest railway station is at Totnes,
(a main stopping point on the line to Plymouth and the West Country).
Facilities:
The
Dining Hall
The
Dining Hall has seating for up to 40 people and
is just the place to start and end your day. There is also a dias that
can be used for lectures.
Catering
All meals are prepared in our own kitchen by our resident Head Chef
/ House Manager. He and his team ensure that all catering
and dietary needs are met, producing wholesome, nutritional home cooking.
A full-board residential stay includes a cooked breakfast,

Accommodation
The centre is split into two main areas of accommodation:
the "Hayloft" and "Yellowstone Park". The "Hayloft" comprises of twin bedded and 4 bedded bunk rooms, all with
washbasin, shaver and power points. This section also has its
own showers and is adjacent to the bathroom. "Yellowstone Park" has two dormitories, each capable of sleeping up to 10 people;
with the tutor rooms and showers this area is totally self contained.
The final dormitory can sleep up to 18 people. All beds have duvets, pillows and blankets (if required). All rooms have fitted carpet,
are heated and offer good storage space.
The Centre can accommodate 60+
people in total.
Bar
Part of the building has been converted into a comfortable licensed
bar. The conversion has retained the characteristics of the building
which, with the horse brasses and the comforts of a country pub, is
the ideal place to relax after a hard days play. There is also a dart board and pool table here.
Lecture Room
The Lecture Room can seat up to 30 and has Broadband Internet connection facilities. It offers ideal space to complete field
studies and/or course work. Other areas within the centre can be converted
to lecture/class rooms to provide added space, if required.
Drying Room
The drying room has plenty of space and can dry a large amount of clothing,
shoes and equipment overnight.
