WHERE?

New Synapse’s training facilities have been purpose-designed. They provide an ideal learning environment comprising a 440 ft² study centre, high-speed wifi, an integrated Apple computer ecosystem together with top quality visual and sound systems.

A 480 ft² Yoga / Pilates studio has been erected just beside the study centre. This is the focus for returning delegates who wish to complete the practical elements of the Movement brain health pillar. An all-weather tennis court is provided for guests’ use during their stay. The whole is set in 7 acres of landscaped grounds in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the edge of a pretty West Dorset 12th century village.

The briefing centre has its own refreshments area. There are facilities for wheelchair users. Secure, off-road parking is provided for up to 8 private vehicles immediately outside the training centre.

Nearby Dorchester is well served by rail and road links, just over two hours drive from Heathrow, or 1 ½ hours from Bristol, Exeter and Southampton airports –all of which connect with continental Europe. It is 6 miles from the Jurassic Coast and an award-winning National Trust beach at Burton Bradstock. The historic seaside towns of Bridport, Weymouth, Portland, Poole and Bournemouth are all within easy reach.
