Mill on the Brue
We provide activities that promote team building, resilience, communication and most of all fun! If you are looking for a fun, exciting and challenging outdoor adventure activity centre, look no further than Mill on the Brue! You can experience unforgettable outdoor activities, scale heights, paddle the river and explore underground.
We have 25 glorious acres of Somerset countryside with over 40 activities in a home from home environment since 1982.
Mill on the Brue was started in 1982 by Tony & Tricia Rawlingson Plant. Both had a background in the outdoors, training and development.
Having been in partnership for two years with Gants Mill down the river they bought Trendle Farm, which had been sprayed and manicured, trees felled and hillsides burned to create a barren nine hole golf course on 20 acres. Tony & Tricia immediately instigated a ‘no chemical spray’ policy, and set about replanting trees and reinstating hedgerows while at the same time building up the business. In 1990 the partnership ended and Tony & Tricia with the help of staff moved the whole Centre to Trendle Farm.
It has always been very much in the family, with our three children working and contributing and in January 2004 Matt, our younger son, joined Mill on the Brue as a Director. He brought extensive outdoor experience, invaluable planning and business skills to the centre. In October 2005 Matt married Flora who not only worked as a group leader for us in 2005 but is now a teacher. On 16th November 2007 Flora gave birth to Polly and then 30th December 2009 Islay which now means there are 8 grand children who all love Mill on the Brue!
Why is Mill on the Brue supporting Merched Y Môr?
I really felt that you all had a wonderful mixture of enthusiasm, adventure, realism with a good dose of madness! We are proud to have helped you in your adventure. I am sure you will all be brilliant role models for many people including my two teenage daughters and the next generation. Sometimes these challenges can feel impossible for mere mortals to attempt let alone succeed.
