Venue

Ormside Mill is a residential and activity centre, sitting in a quiet rural location in the heart of Cumbria’s beautiful Eden Valley, just three miles from the lovely market town of Appleby-in-Westmorland.

Outdoor UK Limited is an outdoor activities and development company founded in 2004 and benefiting from years of experience in the outdoors and in professional development from its founders, staff and freelance trainers.

Our aim is to provide quality and cost-effective development experience in the classroom or in the outdoors for all, regardless of age and experience, in a safe and supportive environment. 

We opened our South Pennines centre in 1994, converting a Victorian primary school to accommodate groups of up to 25 children. Since that first season we have twice increased the accommodation at the activity centre, so that we can now accommodate groups of up to 78 children together with their accompanying teachers.
