Facilities

Daerwynno Outdoor Centre offers basic residential accommodation and is expanding to cater for the increasing needs of able-bodied and disabled people seeking to engage in outdoor leisure activities.

Inside, the main building has a large ground-floor room suitable for cooking and dining. This room is equipped with kitchen units containing the necessary cutlery, crockery, and cooking utensils for self-catering. There is a solid-fuel Rayburn for cooking and heating, with a wood store on the side of the building. In addition there is a caravan-type gas cooker. Equipped with bench seating, this ground floor room is also suitable for classroom lessons and activities, or just socialising. Cold water is fed from a nearby natural spring, and electric lighting is environmentally-friendly powered by a small wind turbine and solar panels.

Upstairs, the two bedrooms contain bunk-type sleeping platforms to cater for up to twenty people. Foam mats are provided, but groups must bring their own sleeping bags. Alternatively, a camping lawn, which has room for about twelve two-person tents, is available and is used frequently in the summer months, for those providing their own tents.

The centre has constructed the first outdoor rock-climbing boulder in the area, which, together with the house's gable-end, makes climbing a popular activity. Within the grounds there is a small wildlife pond, particularly suitable for the younger groups. We also have permission to use the nearby Clydach reservoir for canoeing and, being in the middle of the forest, gives our visitors the perfect setting in which to experience and enjoy the natural surroundings.
