Old Harry Rocks Retreat

A mindful 1-night retreat inspired by Enid Blyton’s "Five Have a Mystery to Solve" on Dorset’s magical coast

Discover the magic of Dorset’s coastline, inspired by Enid Blyton’s “Five Have a Mystery to Solve.” Connect with the landscape with beloved mysteries.

Day 1: After settling into our cosy B&B, our adventure begins at the iconic Old Harry Rocks, a striking series of chalk formations standing tall against the sea. This offers breath taking views, rugged cliffs, and space.

The evening unfolds with a meal shared in good company, while the sun sets on the bay in soft light, a quiet time to relax, reflect, and feel the lingering magic of the day’s stories.

Day 2: We set out on foot across the Isle of Purbeck, visiting Enid’s cherished clubhouse, we'll bring beloved characters to life, weaving stories with literary magic.

After lunch, we'll 'storyboard' our adventures then head home, mystery solved!

This trip balances exploring and meaningful connection, for those that crave calm adventure without the bustle of child-focused activities, welcoming older children and families with open arms.

Note: All key expenses are included. Full payment is required one week before our adventure begins. For now you're simply booking to secure your space.
