Most of our courses are run in a beautiful ancient woodlands in Sussex.
The sites have plentiful wildlife, including three species of deer,
badgers, foxes and a wide variety of woodland birds. We also run annual
courses in a stunning wilderness area on the West Coast of Scotland.
Your time with Wildwood Bushcraft should be fun, with plenty of hands
on experience, challenges and hopefully you will be inspired to learn
more...
