Tinhay Retreats offers retreats and spiritual direction. Set in an old farmhouse, with fifteen acres of peaceful gardens, meadows and pasture. The lovingly tended garden is affiliated to the Quiet Garden Movement. In addition, there are three acres of wildflower meadow, an old orchard area, a camping field and two sheep fields. Tinhay Retreats offers a prayerful space for individuals and groups. We welcome people of all denominations and none.
