Dartington Trust Information

Dartington Trust is a charity delivering progressive learning programmes in the arts, ecology and social justice. Our beautiful 1,200-acre estate is a vibrant year-round visitor destination and home to a range of organisations including Schumacher College, Dartington Arts School and Research In Practice. As a centre for learning for almost a century we have attracted a variety of leading artists and thinkers and continue to pioneer innovations in agroecology, progressive education and strategic thinking for a sustainable future. Our varied short course programme ranges from weekend workshops to deeper learning experiences that offer a taste of our Higher Education courses on offer through Schumacher College and Dartington Arts School. Nestled into the River Dart near Totnes, our estate offers a chance to connect with nature, from our Grade II* listed gardens to our many miles of woodland, meadow and riverside trails. Our pub and cafe are open every day serving fresh locally sourced food and drink, while our shops offer a selection of sustainable gifts, books and food drink. The Barn Cinema screens a variety of films throughout the year and there are several options for those looking to stay on this beautiful and tranquil estate, from our historic courtyard B&B rooms to lodges in the woods and a perfectly positioned campsite with additional glamping pods.
