The centre sleeps up to 30 people, is self catering and supplies bedding but not towels. There are a mixture of single and bunk beds. There’s a supermarket just a few metres from the centre which stocks fresh and frozen food and is open from 7am to 7pm. There are also two pubs about one mile from the centre serving good pub food. Public transport details can be found at www.suffolkonboard.com. There is a bus route from Darsham to Aldeburgh and Southwold. There is a Mini bus service which can be booked in advance for places that are not serviced by public transport. The centre is situated on the East Suffolk Railway line which connects to Lowestoft, Ipswich and London Liverpool Street.

Darsham Country Centre provides comfortable overnight accommodation that is ideal for school residentials and youth groups. Conveniently located just 10 minutes from the Geography Fieldwork Academy in Southwold, it offers the perfect base for a school residential.

On arrival, the Centre Manager will welcome your group and ensure you feel at home. You’ll be shown important facilities such as fire exits, heating settings, recycling arrangements, and the use of the kitchen appliances. Fresh, clean bedding is provided so that the students can make up their own beds on arrival – a great way to encourage independence.

There is a local supermarket for any last-minute provisions and restaurants and takeaways for a teachers’ treat.

For times not at the Academy there’s lots to explore in the local area: traditional seaside towns, historic sites, scenic walking routes, and a train connection right to the door from London.
