We are located above the picturesque village of Disley which sits on the edge of the Peak District National Park on the border of Cheshire and Derbyshire.

The name Seven Springs indicates the historic importance of the area with its plentiful supply of spring water.  The first reference to our cottage was made in the Court Rolls of the 14th Century, being called Coxx in Dyssterley and passing into the possession of William Jodrell and remained a farmstead into the 20th Century.

By Deed of Gift, the Seven Springs Camp of over 30 acres was vested to Trustees to be used for holiday camps for poor children and in 1958 the site was transferred to the day to day management of the County of Manchester Girl Guides Association, to provide camping and outdoor facilities for members of the Association from Manchester and beyond.

Under our constitution we have an independent Board of Trustees but continue to be supported practically and financially by Girlguiding Manchester and  welcome Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, Rangers, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts, school groups, charities and other youth organisations

About Our land

Seven Springs covers approximately 32 acres of land.

About Our Volunteers
