Great Tower Scout Activity Centre

Great Tower Scout Activity Centre is a Scout Adventures facility set across 250 acres in the heart of the Lake District, close to the shores of Lake Windermere, near Ghyll Head Reservoir.

The centre offers a wide range of outdoor activities including ghyll scrambling, high all aboard, low ropes, aeroball, and an adventure course.

Accommodation options suit groups of varying sizes, with on-site camping spread across multiple areas — some central, others more secluded — as well as four lodges equipped with fully fitted kitchens and communal dining areas.
