Powburn Scout Adventure Centre sits just north of the village of Powburn in Northumberland, roughly 40 miles north of Newcastle near Wooler.

Originally built as the Jubilee Memorial Hall, the premises were acquired by Tynemouth Scouts in 1974 and developed into an outdoor activity centre.

It is surrounded by unspoilt countryside with straightforward access to the Cheviot Hills, Northumberland National Park, Bamburgh, and Holy Island.

The Breamish Valley is virtually on the doorstep, offering superb walking country along an attractive river setting dotted with historical sites including Iron Age hill forts.

On-site facilities include an indoor climbing wall, and nearby operator Active 4 Seasons runs canoeing, kayaking, and rock climbing activities. Local trails, hikes, and a reconstructed Iron Age fort at Millfield round out the recreational options in the area.
