We are Field Studies Council, an environmental charity and leaders in outdoor education. We want to inspire your pupils with innovative teaching, and explore diverse learning environments together, to encourage them to care for our natural world.
Rhyd-y-Creuau is a historic Georgian country house built in the early 1800s, set in the beautiful landscape of the Snowdonia National Park.
Cascading rivers and wooded hillsides provide a rugged backdrop to the centre, yet it is close to Snowdonia’s glaciated valleys, rocky shores, beaches and traditional seaside resorts. The 2.2 hectare estate includes a football pitch, woodland, biodiversity garden, a stream, campfire area, two ponds including a 10 minute well-being walkway. The centre is popular with those wishing to explore the mountains and adventure activities of the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park which surrounds the centre, including Zip World Fforest which is a short walk away.
Each year over 3,000 school groups, from key stage 1 to university level, visit our centres for geography or science (biology) fieldwork, cross-curricular environmental activity courses, plus outdoor adventure.
Let our education team help transform your classroom theory into real subject knowledge, and harness the adventure found in nature, through hands-on experiences. We live and breathe outdoor education, and want to share our passion with your pupils.
