What is recorded here
This green commemorative plaque records: This youth hostel is one of many, both in this country and abroad, where young people, regardless of race or creed, may spend the night. The buildings are diverse in character but they have a common purpose: to help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside Recorded plaque organisation: YHA National Office.
This plaque commemorates the establishment of youth hostels aimed at promoting access to the outdoors for young people, emphasizing inclusivity and environmental stewardship; it reflects the broader movement initiated in Europe during the early 20th century to provide affordable accommodation that encourages exploration and appreciation of natural landscapes.
