WiseWoods consists of 23 acres of woodland and grassland. It was neglected for many years. Since buying it in early 2025, we have embarked on a journey to restore the woodlands, tackle the non-native invasive plants and create the perfect environment for nature-led wellbeing and education activities. Below are some of our activities. Read more WiseWoods updates on our blog page<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woodland walks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s something incredibly calming and healing about walking through a woodland, making it the ideal place for coaching and therapy activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our woodland walks include flat paths suitable for all seasons, and more challenging paths, such as those down to the riverbank, only suitable in drier weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book walk-and-talk coaching sessions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Coaching sessions in the private, peaceful and inspiring environment of WiseWoods can help you get a different perspective on life\u2019s opportunities and challenges, and think through your next steps. Book an initial free chat with Ingrid<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See the FAQ page<\/a> for walk-and-talk coaching prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education partnerships<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We believe in the power of real-life, nature-led learning, and the importance of inspiring children to engage with the natural environment from a young age. That\u2019s why we are keen to build partnerships with educators and schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

School groups<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We were delighted to welcome student groups from Esteem North Academy for weekly community activity sessions in autumn 2025. The students (and their teachers) worked hard on dead hedging, path making, Himalayan balsam pulling, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019d like to arrange for students from your school to get involved in restoring and looking after WiseWoods, contact us<\/a> to discuss options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teacher support<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Having worked in education for two decades, Ingrid understands the stress and exhaustion experienced by teachers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WiseWoods is the perfect place for you to unwind. Escape from the pressure of teaching for an hour or two and enjoy a mindful walk, lose yourself in a restoration task like dead hedging, or participate in some walk-and-talk coaching. Or do a bit of each. Contact Ingrid<\/a> to discuss options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photography<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The diverse woodland and grassland habitats at WiseWoods offer photographers a constantly changing selection of scenes to capture throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mindful photography walks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Photography encourages mindfulness. It keeps you in the present, holding in stillness and silence to get the picture you want. It helps you notice tiny details and see things with a fresh perspective. It\u2019s also relaxing, even helping you regulate your breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our photography walks are not photography classes. They won\u2019t train you to be a professional wildlife photographer. Instead, we guide you around WiseWoods, focusing on a particular area or theme each time, inspired by the seasons and the weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll have time to explore the details of the woods, grassland and river and practise different ways of capturing what you see. If you attend photography walks throughout the year, you\u2019ll watch the seasons unfold at WiseWoods, each bringing a wealth of different colours, textures, shapes and movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
