About Us

Welcome to
Bryntysilio Outdoor Education Centre

Developing strategies for learning that make sense, sharing memorable and meaningful experiences. Connecting with ourselves, each other and the natural world.

Bryntysilio

Children’s learning at Bryntysilio is inspired by engagement with the local landscape. Learning strategies are developed to encourage young people to make sense of their learning and understand it’s use in other contexts…at school, home and in the wider community.

While at Bryntysilio, they get to walk in the local hills, seeing people working on the land, looking at patterns in the landscape and reflecting on the natural world. This experience facilitates an understanding of environmental sustainability, developing opinions and fosters positive relationship with their surroundings.

We find that physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual development is nurtured through activity in the great outdoors as a positive and fundamental learning platform.

Our History

Bryntysilio has been providing adventure learning in the outdoors since 1969 as the ‘home from home’ experience to Walsall school children, and in recent years it has opened its doors to schools and organisations from all over the UK.
