Facilities and Activities

The site comprises 7¾ acres of camping ground with an additional 2 acres of mixed established woodland. There is a high quality toilet block on the site that provides hot showers and washing up facilities. New for 2008 is a "campers utilty room" which has a fridge, freezer, tumble dryer and microwave. All campers have access to this and there is no extra charge.

The site has a campfire area and an assault course together with a supply of pioneering poles that can be hired. A small climbing wall (approx 20 feet) is also available for hire, along with all necessary equipment and qualified instructors (note: our instructors are not qualified to Guide Association requirements - Guides wishing to use the wall will need to provide their own, qualified, instructors). A simple orienteering course has been laid out and maps are available. We also have available a pair of football goals (and some footballs) and a number of frisbees.

A small tuck shop selling a range of sweets and soft drinks (and camp badges) can also be provided if required.

Cooking on wood is encouraged using the altar fires provided. There is a good supply of firewood making this site ideal for traditional Scout camping.

Some of the facilities are marked on the site plan.
