| Description |
| Totnes is a safe, friendly town free from the distractions and impersonality of city life and the ideal environment for the serious student to study and relax. It is a centre for music, art, theatre and natural health, and its fascinating blend of traditional and alternative cultures lends it a unique atmosphere which is reflected in the school through its teachers, host families and social programme. Street musicians and entertainers, markets on Fridays and Saturdays and a High Street full of charming shops, restaurants, pubs and attractive cafes give the town a vibrant life of its own. Totnes lies on the banks of the River Dart. |
