Mersey River Study KS 2&3

Mersey River study (KS2 & 3)

Venture-Out Activity Centre is uniquely situated in the Mersey Valley Nature Park and at the start of the River Mersey Flood plain. We can get right down to the banks of the river to examine the water quality, look at flow and discuss all the natural and made made features of the Mersey and also consider the Mersey in the context of the wider catchment area.

We have 3 main options but are flexible and can adapt to meet any specific requirements you have.
