Aberdovey 
The centre is situated on the outskirts of the Welsh coastal resort of Aberdovey. This is the original and largest of our centres and has easy access to the mountain ranges of mid Wales and Snowdonia National Park. A modern, purpose built, training facility in the centre of the village has direct access to the Dyfi estuary and inshore waters of Cardigan Bay and provides a good base for more distant journeys on the Mawddach and Dysynni estuaries to the north. Combined with the land and sea environments, four log cabins also owned by the centre provide a wide range of opportunities for adventurous expeditions that can be tailored to support the full range of courses offered by The Trust. The Centre is currently engaged in a major refurbishment programme by the end of which there will be accommodation available for up to 182 course participants and 16 visiting staff.

Ullswater 
The centre is situated on the north-west shore of the lake approximately two miles from Pooley Bridge. It is a large Georgian house set in 18 acres of woodland, with the mountainous Helvellyn range nearby. Most of the courses here involve mountain expeditions of 2 - 3 days in the fells. These may include a canoe journey on Ullswater adding to the overall experience. Other activities undertaken locally and further afield include rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, orienteering and caving (in Yorkshire). The centre can accommodate up to 136 people.

Howtown  
The newest of our centres, opened in February 2008, is on the north-east shore of Ullswater and accommodates up to 75 people. The courses and facilities here are very similar to those at our Ullswater centre; the High Street mountain range and the shore of Ullswater are immediately accessible from the centre. Instructors running courses from this site are based from the Ullswater centre.

Loch Eil
The centre is an old shooting lodge set amongst its own extensive grounds on the foreshore of Loch Eil. With the centre being located in the Highlands, the mountain environment provides excellent locations for expeditions to be carried out throughout the year. These include 1, 2 & 3 week long land and mixed expeditions, plus sailing expeditions using the centres cutters, as there is easy access to the open sea which enables sailing courses to set sail for the many remote islands and anchorages of the West Coast of Scotland. Extensive use is made of the lochs and coastal environmental for sailing, open canoeing, sea and river kayaking. Recently the centre has developed Gorge Walking and Tyrolean venues and now has three exciting sites. The centre can accommodate 120 people.

Metro
A non-residential operation, has been operating in Glasgow for 10 years and has a core team of 12 staff. Metro works with young people and teachers in schools across Strathclyde. The Leadership for Life Award, which is run jointly with the Mark Scott Foundation, is a one year supported programme promoting youth development for the good of the community.  Others programmes are either for those young people not ready for a standard residential experience or providing continuous support and development, to those who have participated in a residential experience.

Eskdale
The centre is situated in the Western area of the Lake District in Holmrook, near Boot. This country house has been part of The Outward Bound Trust since 1950 and is set amidst 64 acres of woodland with its own tarn.  Although this centre deals predominantly with our residential corporate training and development work, other areas of work include challenge events for adults, apprentices and graduate programmes. The centre can accommodate up to 82 people.
