    About

    Bendrigg is a registered charity. We make adventure accessible, working together to overcome barriers and transform lives. We provide residential activity breaks for people of any age or ability at our centre in Cumbria and believe us when we say that anything is possible. You may never have dreamt it was possible to fly down a zip wire or explore the depths of a cave, but at Bendrigg, we make the “impossible” possible!

    Fabulous time, because it's so well thought out

    Really well organised, but very flexible to indivual needs (including dietary). Expert and friendly staff, so the whole group felt relaxed and confident. Plenty of opportunity to step out of activities and social if needed, but it was lovely to feel we were all 'in the same boat', having fun and achieving together (very nice group I was in, without feeling any pressure to socialise).
