Our 250 acre woodland activity site on the edge of the Mendips has a private 50 acre rock sport quarry with a 150 foot abseil and climbs to challenge all abilities. We also have a climbing tower, a permanent archery and rifle shooting range, a dry slope for skiing, snowboarding and tobogganing, a camping area, several bushcraft and forest school sites, orienteering courses and an abandoned mine which forms one of the best geo-cache courses in the country. Mendip's exciting new 10 hole woodland Disc Golf Course is open all year round.

Our other green-field activity centre in Hewish has exclusive river access for canoeing, kayaking and raft building and a permanent assault course with two parallel lanes of challenging obstacles including daring river crossings.

We have also negotiated use of the best natural resources across the Mendips and beyond for rock and water sports and have a regional network of bases and accommodation across Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset and South Wales for residential or other specialist activities.

Our instructors are the best in the industry, are fully qualified, experienced and enthusiastic. They are all CRB checked, first aid trained and passionate about what they do.
