About Bawdsey Manor

Located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, this stunning 144 acre adventure camp is easily accessible from Stansted, Luton, Gatwick and Heathrow airports and is the perfect base for groups wanting to explore England’s capital as well as the historic city of Cambridge which is nearby.

Bawdsey Manor has already been operating successful English Language Programmes for international schools for a number of years and is well-equipped, with plenty of classroom space for study sessions and comfortable accommodation for students and teachers.

There is a wide range of challenging adventure activities for students to enjoy between study sessions, and great facilities, including a sports hall/gym, playing fields and beautiful beaches with panoramic views along the coastline.

It really is a beautiful location for students to get a taste of English culture and heritage; the manor house itself is full of history, and students will enjoy exploring the extensive grounds after an action-packed day.
