Bruton, Somerset BA10 0BA 01749 812 307 www.millonthebrue.co.uk
Welcome to Mill on the Brue Outdoor Activity CentreThe outdoors is a great leveller and a fascinating tutor. Used imaginatively the experience can enable a far greater understanding of ourselves and others, and achieve lasting change which can be profound.
With a background in the outdoors, both personally and professionally, as well as training and counselling, we believe there is hidden potential in each person who visits; as a child or adult from whatever cultural background, they are challenged and encouraged with support, to achieve and develop.
Our single purpose is to provide you with the most rewarding outdoor experience you have ever had, in an exciting and enjoyable environment.

I just wanted to send a quick message to say thank you. We, once again, had a wonderful time with you. Your staff are amazingly kind and generous and I feel totally privileged to be able to witness children overcome fears and step outside their comfort zones in such a short space of time.
This year we also brought a new member of staff and I really think he has gained so much from this experience - even though he won’t admit it - I never thought I’d see him on a zip wire!
I strongly believe residential trips are so important to the health and well-being of both children and adults (even if the teachers are a little tired!)
Thank you so much for again making this a memorable experience.

Thank you for the delicious food. When I first tried the food, it felt like my stomach was in heaven. Mary Elton Primary School
I would like to thank my Instructors for taking me on a wonderful adventure and showing me what the outdoors is really like. St Louis School
