Castle Centre
The Castle Centre was founded in 1859 after a local cloth merchant, who died in Seville, left 12,000 gold ducats for the education of orphaned Welsh maidens. Today, it is home to excellent modern day learning and so many varied facilities that it rates among the best activity venues in the country.
Location
Situated in the valley of the Clwydian range in North Wales, the Castle Centre is based at the foot of a 13th Century Castle. The stunning 120-acre estate offers an unspoilt and ideal location for residential activity camps. The site is less than 1.5 hours from Liverpool and Manchester Airports.
