Our venues are purposefully set in remote locations as the outdoor environment plays an essential role in every Outward Bound® programme. We use the mountains, lakes and rivers on our doorstep to support our participants to build their confidence and achieve their goals. Using the outdoors in this way means that our programmes have real, transferable impact. Our clients tell us time and again that it’s more than worth the journey.
