Outdoor Learning Hub at QMU
The Outdoor Learning Hub is for everyone to enjoy, including our students, visitors, the communities we serve, and educators across Scotland.
We invite you think about the gifts outdoor places like this offer, for activity, learning and well-being.
Imagine how you might learn, play, make, or be in places like this where you live, work, lead or relax.
The Discovery Trail provides an accessible route through our meadow, pond, woods, hedgerows, and Wee Forest. In the Wee Forest you will find the Howff, a sheltered place for meeting, activities, learning and performance.
Wooden waymarkers show the way along the route as per this map (LEAVE THIS NOTE TO ADD A LINK TO THE MAP). On each one there is a QR code connecting to online videos and information.
The stops on the route are set out below.
