Our Main House

Avon Tyrrell was originally built in 1892 as a family home and after use during WW2 by the army the main house and its estate was donated in trust to UK Youth.  The Main House still contains much of the character associated with a house built around this time, but yet combines this with a practical environment, enabling groups of all ages and abilities to use this wonderful facility. 

Groups are welcome to stay residentially and carry out their own activities, or choose from the wide variety of adventurous and environmental activities available on site.  For full details of our activity prices please check out the activities page of our website.  All residential guests receive a 15% discount on 2009 activity prices and we also provide discounted packages for large groups.
