Field
Study Courses
Moorland
Hall is a perfect place for schools planning field study courses.
Situated approximately 4 miles north of the ancient market and stannary
town of Tavistock, and on the western boundary of Dartmoor National
Park, with its wide open moors, wooded valleys, rushing rivers and
a wealth of other natural facilities. Be it Geography, Geology,
or Ecology, teachers will find that there is a huge range of topics
to be explored.
Jo
Farrington has been helping groups organise such trips for some
20 years, providing professionally run courses in a personal environment.
He ensures that you will start the day with a full
cooked breakfast, and provides a nourishing packed lunch and a welcome
home-cooked evening meal on your return.
Accommodation
for visiting groups is in the large modern converted coach
house, attached to the main
house. With washing and shower facilities close at hand to the
4 large dormitories, we can take a maximum of 45 children at a time.
Visiting teachers can be accommodated both in the coach
house and the main house.
The
house itself has a large sunny sitting room/games room, a smaller
cosy lounge for visiting staff, a conservatory and a dinning room/class room. Other facilities include an outdoor
heated swimming pool,
playing field, assault course and a climbing wall. A 17 seater minibus
with seat belts is also available for hire with driver/guide.
