At Combe Grove, we take a different approach to wellbeing, one rooted in the understanding that true health starts from within. Our focus is metabolic health, supporting the body through nutrition, movement and lifestyle to help prevent illness before it begins, rather than simply managing it once it appears.
At the heart of everything we do are our 5 Roots of Metabolic Health™, a simple, science-led framework that underpins every programme and experience we provide. Blending leading research with practical, sustainable habits, we create space for you to reset, restore and build a stronger foundation for long-term health.
Whether you’re here to recharge or to make meaningful changes, everything we offer is designed to help you feel better now and stay well for the future.
In March 2017, The Combe Grove Estate came under the stewardship of The Elmhurst Foundation Charitable Trust, with three key objectives:
- To promote and expand knowledge in the fields of health and wellbeing
- To provide high-quality enhanced apprenticeships for local residents
- To share facilities and expertise for the benefit of the local community
The Estate’s remarkable setting is central to its mission. Situated on 70 acres of wild woodland and meadows, it overlooks Bath, an ancient city known for its therapeutic heritage and healing waters. Drawing on the latest medical research and the restorative power of nature, the Estate facilitates a reconnection with the fundamental needs of the mind and body, fostering enhanced wellbeing, increased vitality, and restored tranquillity.
Environmental responsibility is a core principle of the Estate. The land management team employs permaculture practices, including no-dig methods, to enhance biodiversity within this distinctive area of the Bath countryside. This approach ensures the conservation of its ecological health for future generations, with sustainability guiding all decisions to enrich the land for those to come.
In alignment with its focus on health and wellbeing, Combe Grove maintains a strict ‘No Smoking and No Alcohol’ policy for all team members, volunteers, and visitors across the Estate.
