Shugborough

The old oakThis purpose built Centre occupies over 10 hectares within the grounds of the UK's only complete working historic estate.  It is bounded by Cannock Chase and the river Trent and has accommodation for 80 in dormitories and 140 camping.

The extensive grounds facilitate map work, orienteering, team building, problem solving, archery, freshwater ecology and a wealth of other environmental projects, whilst canoeing, River Trent
kayaking and rafting take place on the nearby river and canal.  Also on the site are indoor and outdoor climbing walls and an artificial caving system.

Some idea of a typical day at the Centre can be gained from visiting the following school website:
