Bring your own tents, sleeping bags & clothing/footwear suitable for camping & sometimes messy/muddy outdoor activities in chilly spring in Cornwall. Being prepared for rain will guarantee sunshine!.
The camping area is on level coarse grass with mole hills. The location of the various workshops will dictate conditions & include woodlands & dense vegetation. Some accessibility will be challenging.
A TYPICAL DAY: You could be waking at the crack of dawn where Joe, our Head Ranger, could take you on a magical silent walk to discover the sounds, scents and early morning activity in the woodlands. Back for breakfast of freshly baked bread from the Mill, fruit and cereals of your choice, tea and freshly ground coffee. Spend the morning exploring the area on one of our guided walks. After lunch choose from one of our many workshops. In the evening join together to prepare a BBQ, followed by hot chocolate and marshmallows, stories and making music around the campfire. Then back to your tent to fall asleep listening to the owls.
