Schools & Lifelong Learning

Learning & Personal Development at Goblin Combe

Goblin Combe Outdoor Learning Centre, with its private woodland and 8 acre field, is a fantastic setting for a wide range of educational and personal development activities. From early years nature-based learning for key stages 1 – 2 through to further and higher education field studies for Biology or Environmental Sciences – there’s something for everyone. We also welcome lifelong learning groups, from yoga retreats to personal development courses.

Whether for day events or overnight residentials, Goblin Combe provides a unique and inspiring setting for learning and personal development outside of the classroom and away from the screen.

Residential Stays at Goblin Combe

Our residential guests stay in our eco-lodge which sleeps up to 38 people in bunk bed dormitories. Each of the ten bedrooms sleeps between two and six people. The rooms are split over two floors with a lift in between the floors. There are bathrooms on both floors, with five toilets, seven showers, and seven wash basins in total (including a fully accessible toilet and shower).

Residential groups have exclusive use of the site with the adjoining cottage with its own common room and fully equipped catering kitchen, as well as access to outdoor fire-pits, a large timber outdoor classroom, yurt, and outdoor games equipment. You can manage your own activities on the site or in the surrounding area (do ask us for suggestions!), or we can work with our partner Goblin Combe Adventures to run forest school sessions for your group. Soon we hope to be able to offer a bespoke programme of activities tailored to any age range, ability, and interests – please get in touch to find out more and register your interest.
