Wessex Water Recycling Centre Tour

Around the bend tours – Corfe Castle, Dorset

Join Wessex Water on a FREE tour of your local water recycling centre to see where it all goes after you flush your toilet

Have you ever wondered what happens to the wastewater you use to shower, wash dishes and flush your toilets with? Well you can find out with Wessex Water’s ‘Around the bend’ tours at your local water recycling centre!

The team at Wessex Water provide the unseen service of treating 880 million litres of sewage every day, so this is a unique and rare opportunity to look behind the scenes at how it’s done with a guided tour from one of their operators.

The Around the bend tours are suitable for all ages, however pets are not permitted.

Please be aware that Corfe Castle Water Recycling Centre can only be accessed via a private road. From the Norden Roundabout take the turning to Purbeck Park, pass over the railway line, then where there is a right turn to Purbeck Park continue through the private road (straight on) for a few minutes and the site is on the left just around a slight bend.

Please note each tour will last 30 minutes with each tour starting either on the hour or half past the hour.
