Swanage : The Chatsworth Centre
Just 5 minutes from the beach and 5 minutes from the coastal walk to Old Harry Rocks and Studland, the Chatsworth is ideally situated for both educational and recreational visits.
The Centre is comprised of a series of 5 former hotels, which have been sensitively converted to provide a safe and secure environment for group travel. Each building has self-contained accommodation with bedrooms, meeting rooms and lounge area. Most rooms are bunk bedded, ranging in size from 4 to 10, with a number of twin bedded rooms inter-mingled.
The whole Centre will accommodate 200 and it is usual to have a number of groups, of a similar age range, using separate blocks for accommodation and sharing the light, spacious dining room for nutritious, appealing meals. Within the grounds are a heated swimming pool, campfire and story telling site, skittle alley and hard court play area. Across the stream is a large grass area for football, rounders and other high energy games.
From the first view of the majestic Castle at Corfe or the beautiful sea front of Swanage Bay, the Chatsworth provides the ideal base from which to explore and discover the World Heritage Coast and its famous attractions of Studland, Kimmeridge, Lulworth Cove and Durlston Country park.
Established in 1937, The Chatsworth is proud of its loyal clientele and has formed a new partnership in the provision of high quality Outdoor education, to countless numbers of young people. Many of these now lead their own groups, such was the impression made on them by their residential stay at The Chatsworth.
In addition to the warm welcome given by our Hospitality team, there is a range of Teaching Services provided by well qualified and enthusiastic tutors. With access to rock face climbing at Dancing Ledge and the highest Ropes Course in Europe, there is plenty to challenge, whilst archery, trampoline, the on-site climbing and abseiling wall and an innovative range of team building tasks, provide new skills and confidence building for all.
