Education

From curriculum-linked Education Days to international visits, Bannau Brycheiniog offers learning experiences for every age and group.

A living classrom

Learning is at the heart of Bannau Brycheiniog. The Park is a living classroom where schools, colleges, young people and international groups can explore nature, culture and heritage first-hand. From curriculum-linked Education Days and residential visits to resources for teachers, work experience opportunities and community events, we offer learning experiences that inspire curiosity, build skills and connect people to the landscape.

Education Days

Bring the curriculum to life with outdoor learning experiences that support the Curriculum for Wales, the Literacy and Numeracy Framework (LNF) and the Digital Competency Framework (DCF). Sessions are available in Welsh or English and can be tailored to meet your learners’ needs.
