The Deluxe Dorset Retreat | Corfe Castle

21- 23 November 2025

Nestled just a stone's throw from the stunning coastline, Kingston Country Courtyard provides the ideal setting for your wild swimming retreat. Surrounded by outstanding views of Corfe Castle and the Corfe Valley, this welcoming and tranquil environment offers the perfect space for wild swimmers to come together, unwind, and celebrate our achievements.

Start the day with a delicious plated breakfast at The Sawmill Restaurant, and as the evening unfolds, enjoy a unique dining experience featuring open fire cooking—a treat for all seasons.

Starting with a swim clinic or intro to cold water dipping, we'll take in some of Dorset best dips, such as Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, Swanage Piers, Studland, Chapman's Pool and Worbarrow Bay.

We'll also try out a Finnish style waterside sauna, complete with supervised cold water dip.

Experience sunsets over emerald seas, swim beneath iconic chalk cliffs, and enjoy outstanding morning and evening meals, oh and cake.... lots and lots of cake.

I’ve been on three retreats now with Mel and Rich and have another one booked, which tells you all you need to know about how great they are! The retreats are a fantastic way to experience some incredible swims with the reassurance of having people there to make sure everyone is safe (coupled with a great group of people and delicious cake!) Would 100% recommend 😊

Yet another wonderful swim retreat with The Wild Swimming Co. Lovely sunny Studland, lovely people, lovely food! Extremely well organised. Many thanks again!

By Alice K for The Spring in Dorset Retreat on Apr 20, 2025

I had an excellent time swimming, walking and eating cake. Mel, Rich, Frith and all the crew kept us safe on the water. The swims were excellent and I hope to be another retreat soon or attending a challenge swim!

By Elanor C for The Spring in Dorset Retreat on Apr 17, 2025

Rich and Mel made the whole experience of our Dorset retreat feel really safe, relaxed and magical. We were lucky to have some extraordinary sunrise and sunset swims and a brilliant challenging swim to Old Harry's Rock. Such a lovely atmosphere amongst everyone in the group. Thank you both for a very special 3 days.
