Aldwark Activity Centre was originally a fully operational Yorkshire mill. Central Yorkshire Scouts have carefully restored the original mill building to its former glory. It now forms the centrepiece to Aldwark's outdoor education complex. Aldwark can accommodate 58 people in its comfortable centrally heated rooms.

Aldwark is ideal for water-based activities and residential training courses, or as a base for other activities.

The indoor accommodation at Aldwark is booked on an exclusive user basis. At busy times, the mill's toilet and shower facilities are shared with Aldwark's campers.

Main Dormatory

If you decide to stay in the Mill, your party's sleeping accommodation will be in a 26-bed dormitory with an adjacement 2 bedded room for leaders.

Cloth Workers Dormatory

The Cloth Workers Wing offers further beds, with one 20 bed dormitory, two 4 bedded rooms and one 2 bedded room. All the beds are bunk beds and at Aldwark, mattresses are provided. But don't forget to bring your own sleeping bag and pilows.

The Cahill Room

A place of serenity and relaxation after the hectic excitement of a day on the water. The Cahill Room offers a quiet area for discussion, study or reading in comfortable surroundings. A television and video recorder are avaliable upon request for this area.

The Galley

The galley comes complete with a large oven, hot cupboard, refrigerator and separate upright freezer. The Galley offers spacious cooking facilities for 58 people and a dining area big enough to serve them in one sitting. At Aldwark, we even provide all crockery and cutlery, but we do ask that users bring their own tea towels, oven gloves and kitchen knives.

Camping

Aldwark is not suitable for caravans, but we do have camping space in a large field, for approximately 100 people, between the mill and the river. If you're camping at Aldwark, you'll have access to the toilet and shower block but NOT the facilities of the Mill Complex.

Cooking is by stoves only - wood fires are not allowed!.
