Location and Accommodation

Our bushcraft programmes take place across two inspiring locations.The first is our Centre at Mount Cook, a residential facility perched on the edge of the Peak District. Set on a former quarry, it features striking natural elements like rock faces and woodland; perfect for immersive outdoor learning. The second is Millers Green, our nearby environmental site spanning 16 acres of mixed woodland, hedgerows, ponds, and grassland.  Both sites offer rich, diverse landscapes that provide the ideal setting for authentic bushcraft experiences
