The  Priory and Retreat Centre, on Boars Hill just outside Oxford are set in 17 acres of woodland with beautiful views of Oxford.

It is an oasis of peace and stillness and offers peaceful and green spaces as an ideal place for quiet prayer and meditation and walks. The retreat centre is run by the community of friars and welcomes guests of all faiths, nations and social groups, as well as those with no faith who desire to search their own way to the wholeness and the meaning of life.

We offer a variety of retreats and courses, based mostly on Carmelite spirituality and the ancient tradition of prayer. We also offer the space for private groups and individuals wanting some peaceful time.

Centre Details

The centre has :-

  • 27 rooms of which 13 are twin.
  • The Chapel
