Delamere

Delamere, which was formally a Youth Hostel, sits in the heart of Delamere Forest and it is well known for its homely appeal.

Our Delamere Centre is ideally located for immediate and safe access to several areas of Delamere Forest, without having to walk along busy roads. We work alongside Forestry England to provide activity areas in the local natural surroundings. Our centre and the area allows for activities such as orienteering, den building, survival skills, pond dipping, environmental games, forest art and walks during which pupils can study animal habitats and the different flora and fauna of the forest.

Children as young as reception age to Key stage 2 visit Conway Centres: Delamere for what may be their first stay away from home. The centre also lends itself to day visits, focusing on the forest environment and easily accessible, but exciting, activities.

Friday 20th June - Saturday 21st June 2025

A mix of Y1, Y2 and Y3 children stayed at Fox Howl outdoor centre in Delamere Forest. We had lots of fun taking part in different activities. Day 1, we explored the centre and grounds, played on the playground equipment, went for a little walk into the forest and sang songs around a camp fire in the evening. Day 2, we completed an orienteering activity, went for an explore around the forest and took part in a scavenger hunt looking for different items. It was such a busy 24 hours but we had lots of fun and enjoyed every minute.
