LOCATIONS

MORETON IN MARSH, GLOUCESTERSHIRE
A hidden gem, not far from Moreton in Marsh, this large SSSI woodland is enjoyed by a select few and offers a unique opportunity to really immerse yourself in bushcraft in this purely woodland environment. Home to rich diversity of flora and fauna, this woodland also plays host to rare orchids and the Wood White butterfly, all thanks to the careful management and dedication of the landowner. The broad selection of trees and plants provide a haven for nature and great opportunities for bushcraft and nature activities. Easily accessible via main routes, including a train station at Moreton in Marsh, but offering complete seclusion in the heart of this wonderful woodland.

ANY OTHER SUITABLE LOCATION OF YOUR CHOICE
Perhaps you know the owner of a large local woodland or have access to an area used by Scout or Guide Groups, or you're staying in a holiday cottage with a large area of woodland within its boundaries? The woodland will need to have plenty of deadwood and leaf debris. Subject to suitability, we can run our bushcraft and nature awareness activities at any location to suit you - the costs outlined above will give you a guide, but may increase slightly dependent upon the time and distance we need to travel to reach your location. Please enquire.
