Fantastic Derbyshire location with so much to do!
Our centre is a short drive away from Carsington reservoir, where groups can raft build or canoe whilst taking in the wildlife. We’re also a 5-minute walk from Black Rocks, a famous climbing area where schools can learn new skills on a real rock face. Plus, we’re just up the road from Chatsworth House and Alton Towers, if you wanted to include an excursion within your trip. The options are endless for a secondary school residential full of culture.
