Biography
Learn Outdoors is proud to be a DofE Approved Activity Provider (AAP). Based in the beautiful Cambrian Mountains of mid-Wales we specialise in delivering high quality, tailor-made walking expeditions for schools, youth groups and individuals across England and Wales.
Our events are designed to be fun, informative and safe and are facilitated by a team of highly qualified, professional instructors. Wherever possible we tailor our programmes to meet your specific needs and we will always go that extra mile to get it right.
