Springhead – North Dorset’s day and residential centre for creative and sustainable living – captivates and inspires people of all ages, who return again and again to enjoy its all year round facilities.  

This magical fusion of dramatic landscape – Grade II 18th century mill buildings; spring filled lake; stunning gardens and a newly built grass amphitheatre - is preserved and managed by the charity, The Springhead Trust.

Springhead

If I could stay for one more day

I would do again the woodland trail

Over that hill and beautiful vale

Through the ancient trees

 I would listen again to the roaring wind

Up high in the canopy

Rambling on through a glorious carpet 

 Of flowering beauty

 The meadow, what a heavenly sight

Passing fields of swaying barley 

And over the stile

Treasuring each mile

 Then back again to a very special place

Springhead

A piece of hidden Dorset

An unspoilt place

Springhed – The Poem

If I could bathe for one more time it would be a delight

If I could sit under the tree I would smile with glee

If I could sleep for one more time

Soft and sound, just listening to the wildlife calls in the night sky

Not a drip not a tear in bed

The morning felt sad that we had to leave

So goodbye Springhead Goodbye love for the swans even though Springhead you will stay in my heart
