Merseyside Scouts County HQ

Tawd Vale Adventure Centre is the official campsite of the Merseyside Scout County, set on 80 acres in West Lancashire alongside the River Tawd, which flows directly through the grounds.

The site is available to Scouts and other youth organisations and features both flat grassy camping areas and dense ancient woodland.

Accommodation includes two ten-person bothys, a commercial kitchen and activity space, and a semi-sheltered 12-person sleeping area. A flooded former quarry known as The Delph serves as a private water sports facility for canoeing and rafting.

Other on-site activities include climbing, abseiling, high ropes, archery, air rifle shooting, tomahawk throwing, and bouldering. The site has undergone ongoing improvements, including recent refurbishments to the toilet and shower blocks.
