trip icon Overlooked by the Iron Age fort on Mam Tor and surrounded by the stunning Edale Valley, prepare to see magnificent views when you stay in one of the highest residences in the Peak District.

This long established activity centre is the ideal place to test your skills at outdoor challenges including abseiling, caving, canoeing, archery, and the high ropes courses with the gentle guidance of our experienced instructors. We ensure that every aspect of our provision is carefully designed to enhance a group's learning potential and the overall quality of the experience. Groups in education, regardless of age, ability or experience will benefit from the fact that all of our activity programmes are bespoke and devised in collaboration with the group leaders. Whatever fully inclusive package is chosen, whether action adventure or an adventure bolt-on, the specifics of activity, venue, content and style are constantly adjusted to optimise every learning opportunity - our returning groups know that it is this attention to detail that makes every experience at Edale so much more memorable and significant

We have everything you need to keep your group entertained including space to explore, a well-equipped classroom that's ideal for study and team building, a games room, delicious catering served in our large dining room, and breathtaking views.
