Wyre
(Worcestershire)
Near KidderminsterSet within one of Britain’s largest remaining ancient forests.
Half the species of UK butterflies and moths can be found in this unique forest.
Our tree top adventure at Wyre Forest is home to some of the most ecologically significant woodlands in England. So why not enjoy some outdoor activity, taking in tree-top crossings, wind-in-your-face zip wires and high wires, in one of Britain’s largest remaining ancient woodlands.
You can take in the sights and smells of the statuesque oak and fir trees that line the course for a great day out, or even make a weekend of it and explore the 6000-acre forest.
“Oo oo ah ah” … Don’t forget to enjoy a cuppa in our very own Forest Cafe.
