Argoed Lwyd Outdoor Education Centre
You may have wondered about why Hampshire Outdoor Centres operate in Wales. Well, we know better than anyone the numerous benefits of outdoor learning within Hampshire's landscape. But when it comes to Wales, there's something a little bit special.
From majestic mountains to waterfalls, caves and more, the sprawling Welsh landscape is filled with opportunities to experience the outdoors in a way like no other. Argoed Lwyd Outdoor Education Centre provides the chance for students to undertake new challenges in a completely different environment.
Set against the beautiful backdrop of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons), visitors can enjoy all the landscape has to offer. Walk through waterfalls, conquer Pen y Fan and explore caves and tunnels under the supervision of our expert instructors.

Accommodation
The Farmhouse
Our 19th century traditional Welsh farmhouse sleeps 56 people in several bunkhouse rooms across three separate areas. Two of these areas, The Farmhouse and The Longbarn, come with relaxing communal lounges, wood burning stoves and a fully equipped kitchen. The third area, The Annex, is linked to these areas and can become an accommodation extension.
There is also a beautiful decking/patio space and gardens – great for outdoor dining!
Other facilities available include a drying room and large classrooms.
Camping
There is outdoor camping space for up to 30 people.
Inside-Out experience
Enjoy the cosy comfort of our traditional Welsh farmhouse and camp under the star-studded sky.
Whilst half your group will be in bunk rooms in the farmhouse, the other half will stay in pre-pitched tents that sleep up to five.
Accommodation can be swapped over part way through the week, so each child gets the opportunity to camp!
For groups of up to 60.
