Embercombe is an eco-friendly venue on a beautiful 50 acre re-wilding estate on the edge of Dartmoor. It is a place to find a deep connection with nature – wild nature around us and wild nature within us. It is a place to breathe, to reconsider, to regenerate and to relearn. It is a place to find the gifts that we have to offer right now in the beauty and peace of nature. It also has a wild swimming lake!
