West Glamorgan Guide Centre,
Parkmill, Gower, Swansea, SA3 2EQ
A charming location for residentials, utilising a Victorian built School and headmasters accommodation in the beautiful Gower Peninsula (the United Kingdom’s first designated area of outstanding natural beauty). The centre is close to the beautiful Gower beaches, and you can walk up the Ilston Valley through the car park of the Gower Inn pub next door. The Heritage Centre, a popular tourist attraction is not far down the road, it is an old mill, which has animals, play areas, an old air raid shelter, an old cinema and holds themed days in the Summer. The County trading depot selling uniforms, badges and other bits is based in the grounds of our centre, and is open Saturdays 3-5pm school term time or by prior arrangement through the Booking Secretary. |
The Old School House
The Old School House is sleeping accommodation for the centre (please see photo below).
It has bunk beds to sleep 18 in the main room and a side room for leaders which sleep 4 (one bunk bed and 2 single beds). The bunks take up roughly 2/3rd of the room so there is space for additional camp beds to be used if needed or if you wanted to use it for another purpose. All groups that come to stay can book both The Old School House for sleeping accommodation and Ilston Lodge for cooking and activities. |
