Stunning woodland locations
All courses take place in handpicked private woodland locations. Our South London Woods, are situated on the Surrey, Croydon boundary on gorgeous greenbelt land only a stone’s throw, but feeling like a million miles, from the City of London.
We can also offer private courses in Gilestone Wood, situated on a secluded farm in the picturesque Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park.
Focus on customer experience
Our courses are aimed at developing your skills and understanding how to work with the resources nature provides in a practical and enjoyable way, with all levels of expertise welcome. We run bushcraft and foraging courses, we don’t run a boot camp, nor do we dance around the fire at night. Each carefully crafted course is the result of years of practical knowledge, teaching and instruction. We deliver experiences that challenge you and allow you to explore new skills in a safe and welcoming environment.
