Hilston Park Outdoor Education CentreOutdoor Pursuits CentreHilston Park is the jewel in the crown of our outdoor education centres. Just six miles from Monmouth, the listed building dates back to the early 19th Century and was built for a local aristocratic family. It's within easy reach of the River Wye and the Black Mountains as well as the Forest of Dean and beyond.
Generations of young people have enjoyed staying in Hilston Park's grand rooms which can accommodate groups of up to 50 people. Of course, the centre has been updated for use by groups from primary and secondary schools, youth and adult groups.
