Pathfinder

The Pathfinder building consists of a small hall, separate kitchen and male and female toilets.

It makes an ideal base for small groups and can be used for meetings or birthday parties. It is located adjacent to the Paddock Field which can also be booked for games and group activities to expand your options.

Some groups book the Pathfinder as a low-cost option as a base even if they are camping to store equipment, cater from and have an option if the weather turns for the worst.

Camping

Set amongst woodland there are numerous secluded sites of varying sizes available, allowing us to accommodate any group size. We can cater for every requirement from groups with a few hike tents up to large groups with numerous patrol tents; space for bivvying, shelters, or for those who look want to camp with a bivouac or hammock.

There are communal altar fires available along with a woodpile and several water taps located around the site.

A separate toilet and shower block is available for all campers.

HM King Charles III has been confirmed as our new Patron, a great honour for UK Scouts.

The King continues a long tradition of the monarch giving their Patronage, dating back to 1912. This was when Scouts was granted its Royal Charter and HM George V became our first Patron.
