Since 1946, it has hosted thousands of young people all of whom have benefited from the magnificent Brathay estate and the stunning Lakeland fells and mountains that surround it.

      The peace and tranquillity to be found on the estate, enjoyed by visitors such as Wordsworth, Coleridge and Constable, offers guests a unique sense of space. Our enviable location, aligned with the Trust’s inspirational personal development programmes, allow us to help people to flourish and overcome the challenges of their day-to-day lives.
