We have carefully created a woodland space designed to spark curiosity, connection and a sense of wonder.

From sheltered fire pits and rope swings to mud kitchens and quiet corners, each area has been thoughtfully developed to support exploration, creativity and time spent outdoors in a meaningful way.

The woods have a rich variety of flora and fauna, including a resident pair of buzzards who are often seen perched in their favourite tree near our base. In the spring, large areas of the woodland are carpeted with bluebells and wild garlic, just two of the seasonal moments visitors can experience throughout the year.

Throughout the development and ongoing care of Hidden Woods, our aim has always been to create a place where children and their carers feel at ease, where imagination can grow and where a deeper connection with nature can gently unfold.

We offer an exciting range of Forest School, bushcraft and other outdoor activities to children and adults of all ages.

Complete with mighty oaks and babbling brooks, our beautiful purpose-built camp is the perfect place to connect with nature in a fun, adventurous and (we’d like to think) quite magical way.

Outdoor learning is being increasingly recognised as playing an integral role in holistic child development. Benefits include improved:

• physical and motors skills

• language and communication skills

• social skills, including team work

• knowledge and understanding of the environment

• self-esteem and self-confidence

• motivation and concentration

At Hidden Woods, some of the hard skills that children gain are an improved knowledge of the natural world, an understanding of appropriate use of tools and risk management skills, bushcraft and survival knowledge, environmental arts and crafts. We also very much focus on soft skills such as co-operation, sharing, empathy and the development of emotional language.
