Outside there is a large playing field with climbing boulder, wildlife garden with large fire pit, and a courtyard picnic area with barbecues. Woodland walks lead from the door and the reservoirs of the Upper Derwent Valley including Ladybower are just over the hill.
Adventure activities can be arranged for groups and are led by experienced and highly qualified instructors. On-site activities include climbing, zip wire, orienteering, bushcraft and various team challenges. Other activities such as caving, rock climbing, stream scrambling, abseiling and canoeing can also be provided.

Opened in 1973 as an experimental hybrid of YHA & non-member accommodation.

This popular outdoor centre, set in former 19th century farm buildings, was never owned by the YHA. It was owned by the Peak District National park and run in partnership with the YHA. This cooperation with the YHA ended in 1988. In recent years the centre has been run by Nottinghamshire County Council for the benefit of its own schools, other organisations and private groups.
