About Wilderness Wood
Wilderness Wood is a unique family-run working woodland park in the beautiful hills of the Sussex High Weald.
Explore a network of trails around their 62 acres of award-winning continuous cover ancient woodland. Follow a 1.25km self-guided trail to see some of the woods most interesting features, or a shorter easy-access trail more suitable for buggies and pushchairs. Or simply follow your nose and ramble wherever the mood takes you!
They run a great number of events and activities ranging from Bug Hunts, Camp Building and How To Survive In The Wild to Fairy Gardens, Fire class and seasonal specials.
Come to Wilderness Wood for a very special Christmas atmosphere, with the scent of hundreds of Christmas trees filling the air, the barn festooned with wreaths & mistletoe, and busy activity in the dig & cut-your-own plantation, with mince pies warming on the logstove and hot chocolate, mulled apple juice, and hot soup to warm chilly fingers.
Or for a truly unique outdoor living experience spend the night under the canopy of the trees in one of their beautiful woodland glades, complete with fire-place.
