Temple Druid community is set in 56 acres in the foothills of the Preseli Mountains.  Our aim is to be a year-round Therapeutic and Educational Centre within a sustainable farm, woodland environment, orchard and kitchen garden. The majority of our projects have a particular focus of working with vulnerable children, young people, and their families. We work with the Permaculture ethics of earth care, people care, and a fair share for everyone. We are dreaming into the future and making tentative plans for the renovation and extension so the grade II listed house; planting trees and creating forest gardens; improving growing areas/composting and always from the perspective of being guardians of this land, and wanting to keep the beauty alive and eventually pass on the ever-healthier land to the next generation. We only have rooms in the main house for individuales, couples or families to renter at the moment. We are also open for new director/members, this does require a financial investment into Temple Druid Ltd. But we do want prospective director/members to rent for at least 1.5yrs before considering investing any money into the not for profit Temple Druid Ltd company. Whilst it is not necessary to have experience in a particular area of land stewardship, working with vulnerable people, community living, business management, teaching and renovations, the current community would greatly benefit from people with those skills or a can-do attitude!  For further information see our website and give us a call.
