Govilon Learning & Activity Centre

Govilon Learning & Activity Centre is a non-profit outdoor education centre in South Wales, near Abergavenny on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Set in a converted Victorian school house, it combines welcoming accommodation with access to real outdoor environments, where students can take part in activities such as hiking, climbing and other shared challenges. These experiences are designed to build confidence, resilience and independence - skills that have a lasting impact well beyond the trip itself.

Owned and maintained by Kettering Old Grammar School Foundation (KOGSF), the centre offers subsidised, charity-rate pricing for schools from Kettering and the surrounding area, and has been welcoming students since 1971.
