“The fleeting hour of life of those who love the hills is quickly spent, but the hills are eternal. Always there will be the lonely ridge, the dancing beck, the silent forest; always there will be the exhilaration of the summits. These are for the seeking, and those who seek and find while there is still time will be blessed both in mind and body.”
Alfred Wainwright
The Grove School
The Birks is owned and run by Friends of Grove School.
In 1985 the Headteacher of The Grove School, Geoff Dickinson, made the decision to purchase The Birks from Forestry Commission. Since then massive improvements have been made to the building and we are determined to keep The Birks safe for the enjoyment of future generations.
