OUR PLAYGROUND…
We are ideally situated for easy access to many excellent outdoor environments which are perfect for our off-site courses.
We have Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor for climbing, abseiling and gorge scrambling.
With sole use one of Devon Wildlife Trust’s nature reserve lakes, Encompass can offer you the perfect spot for raft building, canoeing and kayaking.
We venture to Devon and Cornwall’s picturesque coastline for coasteering, beach walks and sandcastle building.
Why not scramble through rivers and gorges or embark on a canoe journey through Tarka the Otter country, down the Torridge River?
We can take you over the huge dam at Meldon and the massive Victorian railway viaduct, exploring man-made structures in nature, and maybe even building our own dams in the streams on Dartmoor itself.
