Bowley International Scout Centre
Bowley International Scout Centre sits at the heart of East Lancashire, positioned at the gateway to the North Ribble Valley and Pennine Moors, with easy access to the Yorkshire Dales, Fylde Coast, and Lakeland Hills.
The site covers 47 acres of rolling meadowland bounded by woodland and the River Calder, offering sweeping views of Pendle Hill and the surrounding countryside.
Established nearly 60 years ago as a training base for the Scout and Guide movements, the centre has delivered specialist outdoor skills to thousands of young people and adult leaders from across the UK and abroad.
It is accessible by road and within reach of rail links serving Blackburn, Rishton, and Accrington.
