Welcome to Aldwark - Yorkshire's premier Water Activity and Outdoor Education Centre. We specialise in offering high quality tuition and accommodation at a price you can afford. Owned and managed by Central Yorkshire Scout Council, Aldwark regularly welcomes parties from schools and youth organisations.

We are proud that Aldwark is a centre of training excellence with frequently assessed, highly qualified instructors providing quality tuition for water activities.

What's more Aldwark is located in an area where there's plenty to see and do. Central Yorkshire Scouts have converted a spacious old mill on the banks of the river Ure - and we're only 8 miles upstream from the historic city of York. [Grid ref.: SE 466 621]

Open every weekend from April to October, resident Duty Managers supervise the centre and our crew provides safety cover for those venturing onto the water.

Aldwark can provide a substantial range of kayaks, canoes and sailing craft in a safe environment for a fun learning experience ranging from a weekend stay to a week or longer. Aldwark is ideal for water-based activities and residential training courses, or as a base for other activities.
