Benmore Outdoor Centre
School Trips
Why book 'Benmore Outdoor Centre' for Residential School Trips and Educational Visits?
Set amongst Botanic Gardens in a rural location in Argyll, we are only 2 hours drive from Glasgow city centre. At Benmore we are able to make the most of our stunning location, midway between two lochs for water-based activities, with a rugged natural landscape providing the ideal setting for gorge walks, shore scrambles and caving. We are focused on delivering the outdoor learning skills and activities which are not only useful during the years of formal education, but will help influence lives and careers for many years to come. We offer a wide range of residential learning experiences which form part of The Curriculum for Excellence, The Duke of Edinburgh's Award, JASS and a wide range of other outdoor educational learning courses.
