There’s nowhere quite like The Magdalen Project. Situated in stunning countryside on the Somerset/Dorset border, The Magdalen Project is both a resource for learning and a place to experience.

Set in a conservation area, our vision for Magdalen is to create a vibrant , inspirational environment to be enjoyed by as many people as possible.

Rivers, woodlands, fields, farmland. You’ll find them all in the 130 acres of land here at Magdalen. Our farmland, where we grow much of our own food, is managed organically whilst the landscape beyond is a great place to explore an exciting range of wildlife.

To care for and preserve this landscape for the future, ecological and sustainable practices of land management lie at the core of all that we do.

The hub of Magdalen are carefully restored and converted farm buildings. This is home to our conference and residential centre, dining, teaching and seminar rooms

Each year schools, universities, businesses, environmental groups and many others all come to spend time here. The Magdalen Project has come to mean different things to different people with visitors returning again and again to be inspired, learn or relax and take a vital breathing space away from the usual routines of life.

"...A magnificent place."
Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall

So welcome to The Magdalen Project and discover what it could mean for you!

As sustainability is at the heart of what we do and believe, I urge you to see Al Gore's new film " An inconvenient truth".

 This weeks top tips for green living...

Treat water with the respect it deserves. In the UK we use more than our fair share of water, around 135 litres a day - the average person in the developing world uses under 10 litres (that's how much we waste every time we flush the loo). If you don't already - try these tips to reduce your water use in the home:

Put a hippo in your loo! Or other water saving devices to reduce the amount of water you flush down the toilet.

Don't leave the tap running when brushing your pearlies - just use water to rinse. This will save a family of four 16,000 litres of water a year (a running tap uses 20 litres per minute).

Dripping taps can waste up to 4 litres of water a day. Replace worn tap washers for a quick and cheap way of saving water.

Keep a jug of water in the fridge, instead of running taps until the water goes cold.
