High Borrans is North Tyneside Council's outdoor education centre set amidst some of the Lake District's most spectacular scenery, 3 miles from Windermere. With the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks on our doorstep we are able to offer a huge variety of activities and outdoor experiences, from canoeing on our own tarn or on the larger lakes, to ghyll scrambling and caving.

We have been providing courses since 1967, and can accommodate up to 42 people (with school groups this is 36 students and 6 staff).

   

OPEN FOR PRIVATE BOOKINGS - Families, adults, youth groups, scouts, guides, hen parties, birthday parties...

Instead of being in hibernation this winter, we've come up with more exciting developments for you to enjoy.    We've had new windows put in to keep you warmer (and to keep our heating bills down!), the 'Orangery' (above) is now complete with a comfy sofa for some quiet contemplation, and during January we are constructing a new, ensuite bedroom!
