Walton Firs, Local Gem
Today, I visited Walton Firs, located in a spectacular spot in Cobham, with Rosemary Dane and Peter Willman. Walton Firs is a 28 acre site offering a range of activities for youngsters through to the more elderly. The centre used to be a Scout Camp site. It is now run as a charitable organisation with a focus on providing activities for youngsters.
The Centre Manager, Justin Tarrant, showed me round (as pictured with Rosemary, below). It is a wonderful place for children to have fun and engage in personal development, from camping to doing Duke of Edinburgh award exercises.
The centre has facilities for rifle shooting, archery, climbing and abseiling, skittles, pioneering, orienteering, adventure course, a maze, and even a cave complex. It targets scout groups and schools, and is also available for corporate use such as away days. For more details, visit their website here. It is a truly inspirational setting!
