Whether you are coming from inside the UK or from further afield, our aim is to make it as easy as possible for you to get to your chosen Outward Boundcentre. There are a number of travel options:

In the car

If you are bringing someone else to start their course, this gives you the chance to enjoy a few hours at the centre, see our facilities and meet some of our instructors. Given all our centres are in particularly beautiful places, you can make the journey a day out together. You may even decide to make a short break out of your journey and we can advise on a selection of hotels and B&Bs close to the centres.

Coach transfer service
We offer a coach transfer service from Birmingham International Train Station to Outward Bound Aberdovey. Please call 01931 740000 or pdf_buttonclick here for more details

Rail pick-ups
For those wishing to travel by rail we offer a pick up service from Aberdovey Station. Please call the Aberdovey centre to advise them of your arrival time.

Combination travel
It may well suit your plans to combine travel arrangements. For example, you may wish to bring those participating to the centre and then let us drop them back off at the nearest rail station for their return journey. They are likely to be travelling with lots of new-found friends!

International travel
For the increasing number of participants coming from outside the UK, we can advise on the most convenient airports and transport to the escorted travel pick-up point (during the holiday season). For those wishing to attend a course and travelling from France or Spain, we do have agents in these countries who could arrange the whole booking process for you, please contact us for further information.
