The county of Hampshire has a wealth of school trip opportunities for schools, academies and colleges. Hampshire's major towns and cities include Basingstoke, Winchester, Portsmouth and Southampton where we offer the likes of Portchester Castle and Paultons Park. More rural and coastal settings like the New Forest and the Solent Coast, include the Countryside Education Trust, the Avon Tyrell outdoor activity centre, and the excellent Sustainability Centre, based in the South Downs National Park.
Another option for teachers looking for a new learning experience for their class is the spectacular Isle of Wight. English Heritage manage Carisbrooke Castle on the island and offer both free self led trips, as well as expert led workshops that cover a range of curriculum topics at various key stages. For those schools looking for water based outdoor adventure, look no further than Cowes and the UKSA watersports centre - a Hampshire institution that has been welcoming school groups for many years.
