For those wishing to have a wonderful experience in a really beautiful part of the countryside, Barhaugh Hall will certainly not disappoint. The views over the valley are breathtaking whatever the weather and the wildlife living in the area such as deer and the famous red squirrel are a joy to see and can sometimes be spotted during the walk into the centre or around the beautiful grounds.

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

"Cheadle Hulme school thoroughly enjoyed their Robinwood 2019 experience. All the team leaders had an excellent rapport with the children, got to know them quickly and very well, had good discipline with them and were very supportive and encouraging. Thanks to all the Robinwood staff for making it such a wonderful trip for the children ! Dobroyd Castle is a historic place which we always enjoy visiting. We very much like that the children (and staff !) receive an individualised certificate from their team leader. We think this is a wonderful memento of their Robinwood experience. It is great that they are also given the opportunity to buy themselves a souvenir from Robinwood."Cheadle Hulme Junior School, Cheadle Hulme
