Large bunkhouse sleeping up to 63 for celebrations with family and friends or outdoors weekends in the Mendip Hills

Outdoor centre for families, youth and business groups

'Location, Location, Location' could not apply more to the Charterhouse Outdoor Centre.
It is situated close to the spectacular 'Cheddar Gorge', nestled on the top of the Mendip Hills in Somerset, in an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB).

Whether you're planning a family celebration, an outdoorsy weekend with friends or are a special interest group needing a base for your event, Charterhouse is the perfect location.

The hamlet of Charterhouse is a short walk away from Blackmoor Nature Reserve and its location makes the centre an ideal venue as a base for walking, climbing and caving groups. If you're a family group you could visit some of the local attractions like the Cathedral City of Wells, Wookey Hole, Cheddar Gorge, Glastonbury or Weston Super Mare which are all within 30 minutes of the centre.

Also used as a school residential site, the centre is comfortable, welcoming and child friendly. There is a modern kitchen and a large dining hall for communal eating. The bunk-house style bedrooms fit between 4 and 6 people in each with 7 of the rooms having en suite shower rooms. Charterhouse provides accommodation for up to 63 people in 12 dorms. There is plenty of space outside for you to enjoy and relax. We also have a visitors lounge and additional classroom available for use.

The Charterhouse Centre is one of the SSE Outdoor Centres which is part of Somerset County Council.
