Study and conference centre Education programme at Bore Place Development education project The Circle Works Environment and ecology

We are concerned to:

Foster individual development
Promote environmental awareness
Develop co-operation and communication
Encourage a global perspective

At Bore Place, CWLT is able to provide 'hands-on' experiences working with the organic farm which forms part of the same group.

In our wider work, we take part in regional and national networks, contributing to the search for sustainable answers to local and global issues.

Commonwork centre and gardens

A manor house and group of historic farm buildings has been converted to form the Commonwork Centre, offering space for resident and non-resident groups to join in Commonwork projects or develop their own work.  The gardens, managed organically, offer aesthetic and historical interest and include permaculture, wildlife and coppice areas.  Contact:  Lyn Kelly
