Tower Wood Residential
Posted 19th February 2024
Lancashire House Project visited Tower Wood from 26th to 28th January 2024.
We travelled by train from Preston to Windermere and were picked up by the Tower Wood team. Fortunately Tower Wood is on the banks of Lake Windermere about half way between Lakeside and Bowness-On-Windermere.
We enjoyed raft building, orienteering, abseiling, caving, high ropes and a powerboat ride on Windermere.
The Young People enjoyed their weekend together and built some solid relationships which will help them when they move into their own flats.
