Home / Activity Centres North / Cumbria
2 of our centres are in the North, Great Tower - in the heart of the Lake District, and Hawkhirst - in rural Northumberland, are great escapes in beautiful surroundings. Our bespoke packages can be tailored to meet your specific needs. We'll work with you to increase attainment, break down barriers between teachers and pupils, and help you meet your learning outcomes.
Why are Scout Adventures great for School Trips and Educational Visits?
Great Tower offers 250 acres of woodland and rocky crags, perfect for hiking and climbing. Hawkhirst is one of the best dark sky locations in the UK offering magical stargazing. Our adventure packages are not just heaps of fun, there are also many benefits associated with the type of outdoors experience we offer. These adventures help young people to develop the character skills they need to become leaders of the future.
What activities are available during group visits?
Canoeing, Sailing, Raft building, Climbing and Archery are just some of the activities offered at these 2 centres.
