Keld Residential 2004

One of the places we use as a residential centre is the Keld Centre. This centre is in the small hamlet of Keld at the top end of Swaledale in North Yorkshire. This is a remote spot and a long way from most of modern life. Mobile phones are useless as it is surrounded by the beautiful dales hills. This year we took a group from Sue Burton's tutor group and also from Joe's group. We were also joined by three students and two teachers from our French comenius partner school in Dieppe. It was a very successful trip and was enjoyed by both the students and staff.

The trip started on Tuesday 6th July and returned to school on the 9th July.

Here you can see the group standing in front of one of the buildings at the centre.

On the way up to the centre on Tuesday the group stopped off at Muker to have a walk through the lovely flower rich hay meadows along the banks of the river Swale.

During the week we visited a number of places as you can see from the pictures below.

We went to the Richmondshire Museum to look at some Victorian household objects.

We also went to a farm where we could handle the animals such as ducks, kittens, dogs, sheep, pigs, horses, goats and hens.

Here is the group waiting to go underground in a show cave.
