This location makes it one of the best places in Southern Britain for young people to enjoy outdoor education in spectacular scenery.

Accommodation consists of The Bunkhouse with room for 35, The Burrow, sleeping 19 and camping for up to 450 in 11 fields. There is no electricity on site but the Bunkhouse has a generator. Open fires are allowed on designated hearths and firewood is available for a small additional charge. Many outdoor activities are available locally. There are walking and cycling trails in the Wye Valley itself and in the nearby Forest of Dean. The site is less than 2 miles from the A40 giving good motorway access from the M4, M5 and M50. |
