Wembworthy Centre (A Devon Discovery Centre)


Wembworthy was a Victorian Primary School established as a Centre in 1974 and is surrounded by forest and farmland. A full week of exciting and stimulating adventurous environmental activities is guaranteed to engage children and young people and increase their knowledge and understanding of the natural world. Once on site, there is no need to travel further - come by train!
All activities are cross-curricular and linked. We can major on specific subjects and themes.
