General Information

Patshull Activity Centre is in the centre of England situated just five minutes from junction 3 of the M54 in South Staffordshire, and is only fifteen minutes from the centre of Wolverhampton.

Patshull is a small site of two acres set in the middle of the Crown Estate on the edge of Shropshire leased to the Patshull Management Committee. The site is partly woodland consisting of both conifer and deciduous trees, the site is edged by a trout-stream (alas, minus the trout). The stream runs into a small lake which surrounds an island, (also part of the site) which is bridged to the main site. The surrounding country side is magnificent with beautiful views across the Shropshire hills.

The Golf House provides our indoor accommodation and has been extensively modernised and can now accommodate up to 28 persons, with all the bedrooms fully centrally heated. The Centre has a fully equipped kitchen with gas stoves, a centrally heated common room and dining hall.

The Barn is a brick building ideal for use as a Training Room/Class Room, Indoor Activity Area or as an emergency shelter during bad weather.

Both buildings are available for use the year round.

The outside camping grounds are situated in front of the Barn and have altar fires, running water and a plentiful supply of wood. Flush toilets and hot showers and a natural campfire circle which is surrounded by tall pine trees are all available, as is the camp providore which has a plentiful supply of sweets, drinks, woggles, badges, small gifts and souvenirs.

The Centre is ideal for conservation projects and forestry. Archery, Air Rifle Shooting, Orienteering, Pioneering, Wide games and camping are all available for those who want to get away from it all. Specialist badge courses and activities can be organised to meet your Group's requirements by our Activity Team for a small fee. Patshull is a great location, ideal for both camping and building based weekends and weeks.
