A Residential School Journey and Environmental Study Centre in West Sussex, England
Situated in the heart of the secluded Sussex countryside, Gaveston Hall is the perfect place in which to escape the hustle and bustle of urban life. Tucked well away from the major highways in the pretty village of Nuthurst, its 100 acres of private woodlands, meadows, lakes and streams offer a peaceful and protected environment. Check out the plan of the grounds.
Your children can discover the secrets of the countryside and perhaps meet the Hall's permanent residents: the timid deer that roam wild, the wary badgers in their sett, the foxes and bats in their woodland retreats, and the abundance of life both in and out of the water.
Make your stay as relaxing or as hectic as you choose; there is certainly plenty on offer to keep everyone busy.
Tie in your stay with the curriculum, whether concentrating on environmental studies on site, or broadening your horizons with visits to many historic sites in easy reach of the Hall. Remember, we are only an hour from London and half an hour from Brighton and the coast!
Whatever your budget, Gaveston Hall, England, will provide your children with a rewarding experience and open their eyes to a different way of life. We will be happy to show you around the site and help you plan your visit, so please contact us for further details. We are open all year round.
