THE WOOD

 

Half is ancient woodland that is carpeted in the Spring with bluebells, celandines and wood anemones. It’s a magical space, great for den making or simply lying down and practicing some forest bathing. The other half of the woodland where the tents are located was planted by hand some 50 years ago by the previous landowner that was passionate about nature and husky racing!  He and his landscaper friend designed tracks for the husky and sledge and then planted all the trees themselves.  It has a diverse amount of varieties: oak, spruce, larch, hazel, beech, ash, wild cherry, bird cherry, silver birch, hornbeam, sweet chestnut, holly, hawthorn etc..

 

 

Explore the footpaths around the 17 acres of beautiful woodland.. Children can bring their bikes to ride, when the tracks are drier. They can make dens, climb trees, collect firewood in the wheelbarrows, find tracks, spot wildlife like rabbits, badgers, foxes, deer .. Lots and lots of birds to spot too.. Identify plants, trees & small creatures – Real ‘back to nature’ stuff.  

We have swings dotted around for them to find too. 

We love fire! Everyone has their own fire pit for that quintessential toasting of marshmallows, cooking outside, and gathering around, at night. Plus a BBQ to cook on too.

The wood-fired pizza oven is available to all who wish to cook their pizza the traditional way. Great activity for all the family!

Have a long hot soak under the stars in our wood fired hot hubs too.. Bliss! We have two hot tubs in total. Just pop your name down on arrival to book your slot. We charge £30 if you’d us to heat for you or £20 if you wish to heat it yourselves. Whatever the weather this is worth experiencing!
