"Brilliant day's foraging"

I have just attended the day foraging course in Oxford with Ian, Richard and Bill. As usual the day was packed with information as we gathered the plants that we would cook later over the camp fire. We were shown how to prep pigeons and guided to cook an amazing 2 course meal, as well as following up with a discussion on foraging and the law, knife law and plenty of guidance around books and resources for us to continue our foraging journey. This is so much more than a "foraging course" - the instructors were amazing and led the day brilliantly, with friendly humour, patience, and in depth knowledge imparted with the clear passion they had for not only the subject, but in making sure we had the best experience. We had a great day in wonderful company and beautiful surroundings having learned so much. Thank you guys for all your hard work - we will be back for the spring one!

"Perfect For Nature Lovers"

We did a spring foraging course in Derbyshire, and it was an amazing experience. Ian and Davey were really friendly and knowledgeable, the course was really hands-on, and prior to the day any queries I had were answered quickly and clearly. Perfect for anyone interesting in getting into foraging!

"Great courses"

Been on two courses with Woodland Ways in Derbyshire: Bushcraft Weekend summer 2021 and Edge Tools and Spoon Carving day course Spring 2022. Both times I learned a huge amount from their friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff. The site itself is lovely: it's private managed woodland; little streams; plenty of wildlife (if you're quiet and still). The food (provided for the weekend course) was excellent in quality and quantity, and there's always hot water for a brew. Very safety conscious (good news if you're using axes and knives!). For anyone interested in bushcraft, or in simply getting outdoors and doing something different, I would heartily recommend Woodland Ways courses. I will be coming back later this year for another weekend and I'm looking forward to it!

"Fantastic!!"

Great shop that always does fast and well packaged deliveries. The courses are simply fantastic and really well run. After taking a few courses myself my wife became intrigued and we are now both attend courses alone and as a couple.

"Friendly, professional, reliable"

One of the online shops I tend to browse very regularly. Great choice of products, fast deliveries, very friendly personnel. I am very tempted to take part in their Sweden expedition in 2021!

"We have nothing but praise for Woodland…"

We have nothing but praise for Woodland Ways - for starters, for twice allowing us to postpone our already overdue bookings due to an operation, to helping us out with getting our van started when we left. The weekend itself (bushcraft at the Oxfordshire site) was really great. Richard and Barry were our instructors, and they were both lovely, informative, diligent, and fun. The site itself is really well laid out, with some sheltered space for eating and teaching, and all the kit you need is provided. (We had bought stuff that was suggested on the kit list, but you probably don't need to splash out beforehand). We learned a lot in two days, and although it's quite exposing to be sleeping outside in the woods, never felt unsafe. We're definitely looking at furthering our woodland education after this experience. It was a good intro, and made us hungry to get stuck into an even more practical learning. Should you be thinking the same thing, you could do a lot worse than book a weekend with this lot.

"Wonderful company"

I have been a woodland ways customer for many years. Great team with loads of knowledge. Their expeditions are literally life changing. Well stocked shop but I usually end up using the website. 10/10

"Happy to be their customer."

I ordered an item from their online shop which arrived on time, unfortunately I had a problem with the item but Woodland Ways sorted this out for me and I would be happy to give them my custom again.
Thank you.

"waterstone holder"

I placed my first order from their website last week. Item arrived quickly and prices were reasonable. Problem free purchase and a decent website.
