Hilltop is a dedicated active learning centre set in 26 acres of coastal North Norfolk. Established in 1989, Hilltop now boasts over 25 years experience in delivering development courses for young adults.

Accommodation

The Hilltop accommodation is comfortable and the catering is homely. Our instructional staff are mainly in their mid twenties, relate well to groups of this age and are experienced in getting the best out of the facilities and challenges offered.

The emphasis is on learning through enjoyment, challenge and achievement. Activity is supported by appropriate review and team discussion. There is inevitably an incidental team building effect on the group and staff.
