Situated about an hour from Manchester and Liverpool, Ellesmere is in the beautiful county of Shropshire. The area is also close to Bath, Stratford-upon- Avon and Birmingham.
Our Ellesmere young learner courses take place at Ellesmere College, a co-educational boarding school that was founded in 1879. The school provides modern teaching facilities and quality accommodation, including a large range of sports facilities. This is all set within very traditional academic buildings.
The area is known for its beautiful countryside and real English charm. It’s also not far from the Welsh border and was home to Shropshire’s most famous citizen, Charles Darwin.
Shropshire has many market towns, set amongst rolling hills and farmland and has two UNESCO World Heritage sites within the county.
Visit the ‘capital’ of the north and an important part of Britain’s industrial past. Manchester is a vibrant, multicultural city. Students visit the Manchester United stadium: one of the world’s most famous football clubs.
The city is famous for the band The Beatles, and Liverpool’s own football stadium and clubs. Tate Liverpool on the waterfront houses British and international modern and contemporary art. Students learn about the city’s history, both industrial and cultural.
