Tawd Vale Scout Camp

Tawd Vale Scout Camp, now known as Tawd Vale Adventure Centre, sits on Lowry Hill Lane in Lathom, West Lancashire, set alongside the River Tawd and close to the Leeds-Liverpool Canal.

Originally opened in October 1932 as Lathom Park Scout Camp, the site was inaugurated by the Lord Mayor of Liverpool and has served Scouting groups — particularly from the Liverpool area and beyond — ever since.

Early campers used the River Tawd for washing, and the grounds have hosted jamborees and a wide range of Scouting activities over the decades.

Today the centre spans 80 acres of woodland and offers multiple campsites and buildings for Scouts, Guides, youth organisations, and educational groups.

An on-site lake, river, and forest provide the backdrop for adventure activities, and the site can accommodate large school and youth group visits. It is operated as a registered charity in England and Wales.
