Cronkshaw Fold Farm

Teacher training courses

Looking for somewhere to host a teacher training course with an outdoor education focus? We can offer a training course venue with a difference. Located in the beautiful Alden Valley, Cronkshaw Fold is a traditional hill farm with a passion for environmentally friendly farming, animal welfare and teaching about the importance of sustainable agriculture. If your training course has a focus on outdoor learning, what better place to run it than a working farm and outdoor education centre?

- The use of our large classroom space for lecturers and discussions

- Self catered or catered lunch options for delegates

- Use of our kitchen gardens, poly tunnels, broadleafed woodland, mowing meadows, ponds and bogs as outdoor educational spaces
