The site consists of 35 acres of ancient woodland, mostly birch with some oak, beech and hornbeam. The timber varies in density, and the eastern side is a bracken-covered slope.
Accommodation
The main accommodation on site, Hornbeam Lodge, is a multi purpose centre that can easily accommodate an adult training course, nights away weekend, expedition base, school day visit or any youth and community organisations.
The centre has sleeping for 26 people in five bunk rooms. At the end of the carpeted bunk room corridor is the fire exit and wet room/toilet for those with disabilities.
Leading in from the main entrance, the recently refurbished kitchen is fully stocked with enough equipment for 26 and meals can be served through the hatch leading into the main hall. The main hall has a large smart tv, ample lighting and a leaders room attached to it which can also be used as a breakout room.
The centre has WiFi throughout the building and is centrally heated, both of which are included in the price.
Outside there is an extended porch area for undercover eating or activities and to the front a large games area. Around the centre is good camping ground if you want to extend the numbers; additional
campers are charged at the going camper rate per night.
