(November 2024 - Primary School)




(July 2024 - Primary School)




The centre is very basic (accommodation, small dining area, small play area) but it is a good base for pond dipping, walks, orienteering, etc. (June 2024 - Primary School)




Residential centre - ideal for outdoor and forest learning. (October 2023 - Primary School)




Fox Howl is really good for an overnight stay. The facilities are basic, we had to make up our own beds and strip them again the next morning. There are no showers available for the children but this does not affect us as we only stay for one night. The children really enjoyed the pond dipping and Meg, the instructor, was brilliant with the children, interacting with and managing them really well. We had a good welcome briefing on arrival and knew the evacuation and emergency procedures. We would love to do this trip again next year and hope that the self catering option will still be available so that we can keep the costs down for the children. (June 2023 - Primary School)
