A POPULAR outdoor education centre in Monmouthshire is up for sale following its closure last year.
Hilston Park, near Skenfrith, closed in November, after Monmouthshire County Council decided it could no longer afford to run the site.
The centre has served generations of young people, providing a range of programmes including archery, forest activities, and canoeing on the River Wye.

Council leader, Cllr Peter Fox, described Hilston Park at the time as “a jewel in our crown” and said many have fond memories of the site, adding that his children enjoyed their first stay away from home there.
The site is now up for sale, with a guide price of £800,000.
