Situated on the edge of the Black Mountains, Maes y Lade offers direct access to some of the most beautiful and varied walking terrain in the area, making it an outstanding base from which to explore. Step straight from the centre into the hills and discover a landscape that invites adventure, learning, and discovery at every turn. Whether your aim is to reach the summit of a local peak, develop and practise essential navigation skills, or simply enjoy the peace and panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, the nearby mountains provide a wide range of routes to suit all abilities and fitness levels.

For those looking to take their experience further, we can also organise overnight expeditions, including the opportunity to bivvy out under the stars. Spending a night in the mountains offers a unique sense of achievement and connection with the natural environment, helping participants build resilience, self-reliance, and confidence in an unforgettable setting.

Learning outcomes include:
Leadership, health and fitness, confidence, environmental awareness, and teamwork.
