Low
Mill Outdoor Centre, a converted water mill, is beautifully
situated on the edge of the village of Askrigg, Wensleydale
in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It was opened in 1976
to run activity courses for groups of young people of all
ages and in 1981, a Wing was added, taking the capacity
of the centre to 40 persons. |

making Charitable Trust run by a Management Committee elected
from the local people. The outdoor centre is open for 52
weeks a year and runs midweek or weekend activity courses
which are fully catered for and are inclusive of instruction
