Oakraven Field Centre, Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire

Set in a converted Victorian school with good access from the M5 motorway, the entire tranquil 1.5 acres site of Oakraven Field Centre is available for exclusive hire by groups of all sorts. Come away with friends and family, for activity weekends and reunions, gather colleagues together for team building exercises or bring a school/college or uni group for a residential trip.

The building consists of a very large communal hall heated by a wood burner and three dormitories with electric radiators. The main dormitory sleeps 21, a second dormitory sleeps 12 and one room sleeps 3 and is suitable for group leaders. There is a large kitchen with double range cooker and a single cooker.

The garden areas are gated and bounded by stone walls providing a safe and secure environment for children and pets. A one acre field is included in the hire and is a great space for activities and camping.

The centre borders a 3.5 acre wildlife reserve and is situated at the eastern edge of the Forest of Dean. The forest offers a fantastic array of activities for all ages, including mountain biking at the nearby Cannop Centre and canoeing/kayaking on the River Wye. The centre is also close to Symonds Yat and the Welsh border counties, as well as being within an hour's drive of Cheltenham and Bath.
