Duncton Mill - Wellbeing and Retreat Centre
Duncton Mill is a conference, meeting and retreat centre situated in the heart of the South of England.
Arriving at the hamlet of Duncton Mill, people discover an unexpected and hidden jewel. Nestling at the foot of the glorious South Downs, it has an immediate impact. The peace and stunning beauty of the setting creates a backdrop in which all people can flourish.
Duncton Mill provides first-class facilities for workshops and retreats, corporate away-days, and staff-development training programmes. We also accommodate celebrations, family and group re-unions, wedding parties and self-catered short-term breaks.
As a retreat centre, we are second to none. “Guardian, May 12th 2007” listed us first in the top ten worldwide best healthy retreats. Groups consistently comment on our efficient, personal and friendly background support.
Surrounded by an organic farm, peaceful lakes and wooded hills, and situated in 'an area of outstanding natural beauty’ at Duncton Mill every effort is made to reduce our carbon footprint. We are blessed with an incredible range of indigenous wildlife. Being at the foot of Duncton Down, a very special ‘European Site of Scientific Interest’, ensures an environment where the protection of the land complements the ethos of our magical centre.
At the heart of the hamlet lies a stream-fed trout pond where three types of trout circle in crystal clear water and yet, remarkably, this peaceful idyll is very accessible. Uniquely placed, Duncton Mill is just over an hour from south London and Heathrow, Gatwick is 40 minutes away and we are 15 minutes from the M27, south coast road.
