The main accommodation building is centrally heated and has a lounge and small library. The ancillary building comprises the kitchen and dining room which doubles as a classroom with some teaching materials.

There are no teaching staff or transport facilities at the Centre; visiting groups "do their own thing".

The area is ideal for environmental studies with clean salmon rivers, meadows, woods and heather moors all within easy walk of the front door.

We also have access to a local pond and dipping equipment.

Danby Lodge National Park Visitor Centre is 2 miles away and offers a wide variety of educational services including led walks and orienteering courses.

Most courses at Great Fryupdale are Junior Environmental studies, but the quiet, cosy atmosphere is ideal for 'A' level or GCSE extra study weekends, and as a base from which to do some serious hill walking or teachers socials.
