Green Moor Centre, Sheffield, Yorkshire

GMAC residential centre is situated in the beautiful village of Greenmoor, which is 6 miles north of Sheffield in the Upper Don Valley in South Yorkshire, close to the Peak District National Park. Green Moor Centre is the Sheffield & District Battalion the Boys Brigade’s residential centre for training and outdoor pursuits. The accommodation is ideal for school and youth groups, but also works well for walking groups and other groups looking for a base for an outdoor activity break. The Centre is let on a self catering, self clean basis with exclusive use.

The accommodation is provided in a converted chapel established in 1812, then a Sunday School before falling into disrepair. In 1990 it was purchased by the Sheffield & District Battalion the Boys' Brigade and completely altered and refurbished to a high standard. The accommodation comprises a centrally heated two floor building with a basement. The Centre sleeps 22 people and can be increased to 30 if required.

The design is adaptable and can be used for single sex or mixed groups and includes disabled access. There are 2 bunk rooms and 2 staff bedrooms, as well as a further room which is generally used as a common room but can sleep a further 4 in fold-out beds with the option of additional z-beds if required. On-site parking is adjacent to the building and easily accommodates three cars and two minibuses.

The Centre is ideal for exploring the Dark Peak, is close to the Pennine Way and the Trans-Pennine Way and a great base for world class climbing at Wharncliffe Crags. Nearby Morehall reservoir is ideal for canoeing and sailing. There are plenty of local walks and heritage sites nearby. Pony trekking is available less than 3 miles away and mountain bike routes not so far from the centre. Advice is available on the booking of local activities and amenities. The Centre is also close to Sheffield, Rotherham and Barnsley and other South Yorkshire attractions.

There are no shops or facilities in Greenmoor, ideal if you're wanting to get away from it all. Local shops at Stocksbridge are only a short drive away.
