Castle Head Field Centre, Field studies center in Grange-over-Sands, England.

Castle Head Field Centre spans across 20 acres of grounds near the coast, featuring both woodland areas and gardens for educational activities.

The Georgian house was built in 1778 for industrialist John Wilkinson, who made significant contributions to the ironworks industry in England.

The building transformed from a private residence to St Mary's Missionary College before becoming an educational center for environmental studies.

The center provides residential and non-residential fieldwork programs for schools, with facilities for environmental studies and team activities.

The gardens once contained the burial site of John Wilkinson from 1808 to 1828 before his remains were moved to a local church.
