Care Solutions has recently acquired Lock Park Adventure Centre situated in the County of Moray, Scotland.

The Centre provides a day service for people with learning difficulties who learn rural skills by carrying out activities in the work shops and around the Centre under expert guidance. A bunkhouse facility is available which can be used for 'short breaks'.

Centre activities include: Archery, gorge walking, a ropes course, open canoeing, kayaking, and team-building activities. All of the activities and the bunkhouse are also open to the public.

Set in the malt whisky trail between Keith and Dufftown in the picturesque Strathisla Valley, Lock Park provides excellent facilities for anyone interested in outdoor pursuits. An on-site warden and qualified staff are available to help you enjoy various activities at your own pace, including canoeing, archery, gorge walking and some of the best brown trout fishing in Scotland. (Qualified staff are at an additional cost to the accommodation - see price list).

The self-catering accommodation in the Swan Bunkhouse includes two rooms that each sleep up to six people and two rooms that each sleep two. Although the Bunkhouse is fully ramped and accessible to wheelchair users, one room is specifically adapted for people with disabilities and has an en-suite shower room and w.c.
