The Old School Centre is where it all started over 20 years ago, running courses for no more than 30 children. Set in the South Pennines town of Todmorden, with brilliant transport links, fascinating local history and amazing natural resources. One of the highlights of a visit to The Old School is a trip up to Orchan Rocks; a pile of natural boulders that is perfect for children to challenge themselves by seeing which of the small holes they can wriggle through. Also up on the moors a short walk from the activity centre we have an Alien Conspiracy session based on the famous story of Alan Godfrey.
Cross Lanes, Wrexham
Maes-y-Nant activity centre is our newest centre and is set in the beautiful Welsh countryside just outside of Wrexham. Maes-y-Nant dates back to the late Victorian era when it was built as a private house in around 1870. Its name Maes-y-Nant when translated means ‘house by a stream’. In 1959 the house was sold and converted to a hotel with many of its original features being preserved to this day

"I can honestly say that in 12 years of teaching, Robinwood Alston has been the best school residential I have ever been on. My only negative is that I hadn't heard of it sooner! The staff, the facilities, the food and the activities were all top class and the staff in particular are a real credit to your company. Cannot wait to return! Organisation on centre - This was the most impressive part of the residential. It ran like clockwork and our group leaders were amazing at getting the children to where they needed to be. As a teacher in charge of other people’s children, I always felt confident that the children in our care were 100% safe. You could tell that safety was a top priority of all of the staff at Robinwood. Overnight Supervision - Wow! Wow! Wow! Is all I can say about the night time staff. They were so attentive yet assertive when needed and helped out with one of our children with diabetes. One lady made a very conscious effort to get to know about the child's condition and asked directly what she should be looking for. Her concern was very apparent which made us feel safe in the knowledge that she really cared about the safety and well-being of the children. Best children's shower facilities I've ever seen! Fantastic food and really directed at children's tastes. Always aware of our allergy children and counts were on the food for our diabetic child. "Monkwray School, Whitehaven
