The Well Road Centre ...The Well Road Centre is a large victorian residence set in its own grounds within the lovely town of Moffat. It is situated in a quiet area yet is only a stroll from the shops and amenities of the town. It caters for the needs of youth groups, church groups, school groups looking for an activity or conference weekend or week. Walking or cycling clubs would find it a good base for exploring the area. The Centre is a suitable venue for residential workshops as well as being spacious accommodation for large families or multiple family gatherings/re-unions. The Centre was once Warriston School For Boys (closed 1979). For more information on Well Road and the Schools of Moffat, click here |

You can bring your own equipment along - thereafter, there are no limits but your imagination. There is a good parking area for cars or minibuses in front of the house and in its courtyard.

...A Range of Attractions...Moffat itself is in the Southern Uplands, an hour from Edinburgh and Glasgow. Its history in the wool trade and as a Victorian spa town are sources of much of its charm. The hills to the north and east were once the haunt of the Border Reivers. Golfers, bird watchers, walkers and cyclists, will all find something worth a visit. Moffat has an excellent range of cafes, giftshops, and grocery shops, many in sight of the Moffat Ram in the High Street square. |
