Connect with nature
Experiences at Wildlands
The best things to do at Wildlands are free when you book a stay with us. But we offer a range of additional experiences in conjunction with local suppliers. Learn more about our landscape and it’s wildlife with our ecologist, or look to distant
planets instead with a local astronomer.
Browse some options below and please feel free to make suggestions, we’re eager to extend the experiences available.
play in nature
Adventure Playground
In addition to the natural playground of our woodlands, meadows and waterways we have also created a giant Adventure Playground at the heart of Wildlands complete with sand pits, a zip wire, swings, a jumping pillow and tunnels to explore. The walking logs have all been cut from fallen wood on site and there are picnic tables and umbrellas for refueling and rest.
Health & wellbeing
Treatments
For total restoration of mind, body and spirit we also offer a range of holistic well-being therapies. The Barn Salon offers treatments which come to you, revitalise yourself in the sanctuary of your wooden cabin or bell tent under the expert care of our therapists.
Please see our treatment list for full information and booking.
