LOCATIONS

CIRENCESTER, GLOUCESTERSHIRE
This is a lovely setting on a large Organic South Cotswolds farm, offering great diversity because of its Organic status and the careful management of the land owner. Easily accessible from, though not disturbed by, M5 and M4 motorways via the A417 dual carriageway and also via the main Fosse Way A429. The site is blessed with diverse flora and fauna in its woodland and pastureland environments, both of which we will have the opportunity to explore. Not only is the farm beautiful and diverse in its landscape and nature, but there is also an award winning Organic Cafe and fantastically well stocked shop. To take a closer look at the farm, click on "The Organic Farm Shop" on the links page.

DINGESTOW, NEAR MONMOUTH, MONMOUTHSHIRE
There are few places so conveniently placed, with close access to main A routes to M50, M5 and M4 motorways, that have scenery to simply take your breath away. This beautiful Organic farm, with views across to the Black Mountains, rolling hills, woodland and flower strewn hay meadows is such a place. Wildlife enjoys a wide variety of habitats here, with plenty of hedgerows to offer cover between woodland and grassland areas. There really is something extra special about this fascinating and varied stretch of countryside. It is thanks to the farm's Organic status and the careful management by its owners that this wonderful countryside and the flora and fauna that thrive within it are here for us to enjoy. Why not order an Organic sheepskin or some Organic meat to collect after your activity? To take a closer look at the farm, click on "Yule Organic" on the links page.

ANY OTHER SUITABLE LOCATION OF YOUR CHOICE
Perhaps you know a local land owner or have access to an area used by Scout or Guide Groups, or you're staying in a holiday cottage with lots of land? Subject to suitability, we can run our all of our activities at any location to suit you - the costs outlined above will give you a guide, but may increase slightly dependent upon the time and distance we need to travel to reach your location. Please enquire.
