Don’t tell anyone…but Woodmill is definitely Southampton’s
best-kept secret!
To those who drive past it, it probably just looks like any other
old brick building. But step inside this converted former mill and
it’s like walking through the wardrobe into Narnia. With an
unexpected tranquil haven full of wonder and surprise (but without
the lions or witches, obviously).
Woodmill is a busy outdoor Centre that deliver a range of paddle
sport and outdoor activities to schools and the local community.
Activities include, canoeing, kayaking, climbing, high ropes, low
ropes, archery, tunneling, orienteering, bush craft, pond dipping
and bug hunt.
Woodmill is the only place in the UK that boasts four different
types of water. With a placid water lake, flowing River
Itchen, tidal estuary and some thrill ride white water at low
tide for kayaking & canoeing.
Woodmill is part of Active Nation, a national sport and
exercise charity on a mission to persuade the nation to be
active. Our people are instrumental in our charity fulfilling
its objectives. We believe everything in life starts with a
conversation; and getting into sport and exercise is no different.
