Visiting the Ravine

Schools and local community groups (e.g. Scouts/Guiding Organisations) are welcome to visit the ravine on self-guided visits and engage in a range of educational activities, from pond dipping to bug hunts. The booking form for all groups can be found below.

We are starting visits to the ravine from March 2026 but we are keen to engage with local schools and community groups before then to discuss visits to the site and arrange pre-visits. If you would like to arrange a visit to the ravine, please email office@montrose.leicester.sch.uk with 'Ravine Visit' in the subject line. 

Here you can find a range of activity guides for the ravine. Please note: it is your organisation's responsibility to risk assess the activities in line with your own policies and procedures.
