We've had a stunning new addition to the grounds at Arete, a totem pole, depicting some of the activities and elements of nature that embody an experience whilst staying, learning and adventuring with us.
Of course the eagle sits proudly on top of the pole, looking out from its position outside Bryn Eryr (Eagle Hill).
Thanks to Dalton Wood who carved this amazing artwork
