About this trip
The Yoga, sauna, fire, nature & swim retreat | Corfe Castle
10 - 12 August 2026
Just a stone's throw from the breathtaking coastline, Kingston Country Courtyard offers the perfect sanctuary for your wild swimming retreat. Enveloped by the majestic views of Corfe Castle and the serene Purbeck Valley, this welcoming and tranquil haven provides a space for wild swimmers to gather, unwind, and re-charge their batteries.
Join us in peak season for a rejuvenating blend of yoga, sauna, fire, nature, and delightful Dorset swims.
We'll explore spectacular swim locations, enjoy exclusive sauna hires, epic swims (or gentle dips) guided by our experts, experience captivating dramatic readings, and indulge in our signature homemade cakes.
Embrace a tree bathing taster session, and wander through the natural splendour of the Isle of Purbeck, a canvas of colour and light.
Experience daily yoga sessions in our private barn or the Kingston Country Courtyard gardens, with stunning views of Corfe Castle and the Purbeck Valley.
Reconnect with your native self around the warm glow of an evening campfire after dinner.
