Two outdoor education centres in Worcestershire have been saved but the county council has decided to close its facility in north Wales.

The centres in Malvern and Upton Warren will stay open but the Llanrug centre, near Caernarfon, will close because of budget cuts.

It follows a campaign by local people to keep the centres open.

About 200 people set up tents outside the county council buildings in February in protest at the proposals.
