Welcome
At Mount Saint Anne’s, here in the heart of the midlands, you will discover a Treasure.When you come through the early nineteenth-century doors you will experience a serenity that disperses all else. If you need to get away from the strains and stresses of everyday life, Mount Saint Anne’s offers a wonderful opportunity.
We all need time to ourselves, times of silence where we can get in touch with our deepest selves. The very special surroundings here at Mount Saint Anne’s help to bring about renewal. Take a walk through the trees and let your thoughts unfold in the silence. Or, if you feel the need, you will find a listening ear among us.
“I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence. But it comes from within and it’s there all the time”![]()
