About this episode
Wake up overlooking the second largest natural harbour in the world – take a tour of the RNLI College
Don’t let the name fool you. The RNLI College is more than a college. Frequently voted one of the best places to stay in Poole, Dorset, the RNLI College includes 60 en suite bedrooms, all with sea views.
Debbie Corke, who sadly passed away in 2023, was the RNLI’s Volunteer Development Coordinator, and in this episode Debbie explains the visionary idea behind the College. Guests can even take a tour of the Sea Survival Centre, where wave machines and magic allow visitors and crews to experience what it’s like to take on stormy seas.
