This is a wonderful opportunity for you to spend two days in a stunning location looking at fundamental bushcraft skills.

This bushcraft course introduces new topics and expands on the content of our Introduction to Bushcraft, although no previous experience is necessary to enjoy the course.

The course includes lots of interactive sessions with our friendly and knowledgeable team and allows plenty of time for you to relax, practise and hone skills and proficiency in each of the topic areas, and soak up the beautiful surroundings.
