The Surrounding Area

After 15 years on a Dorset farm, we have relocated to our new headquarters in a Grade II listed building in the historic fishing town of Poole—gateway to the World UNESCO Heritage Jurassic Coastline. Poole Harbour, which is a 2 minute walk from the academy is the second largest natural harbour in the world (2nd only to Sydney). The area contains award winning blue-flag sandy beaches (7 continuous miles) and plenty of exciting entertainment (live shows, events and exhibitions).

Experience the stunning walk to Durdle Door, board a passenger boat to Brownsea Island to spot red squirrels, windsurf in Poole Harbour, cycle in the New Forest, visit a local food festival or go shopping in Bournemouth or Southampton.

Dorset is a busy tourist destination, especially during the summer months, so booking courses and accommodation early is recommended.
