Staying on the woodland site

The woodland has basic day use amenities, including composting toilets and shelters.

It does not have

  • Showers
  • Running water suitable for overnight stays

Getting here from abroad

Airports

  • Bristol Airport is often better for international routes.

Car hire

Car hire is available at both Exeter and Bristol airports and is usually the simplest way to travel in this area, especially if staying rurally.

Tiverton Parkway is the nearest mainline train station. Direct trains run from London Paddington.

From Tiverton Parkway, onward travel is possible by

  • Taxi
  • Local bus to Cullompton or Uffculme
  • Lift sharing with other participants

Getting to the woodland each day

The final approach to the woodland is rural. Once places are confirmed, participants will be invited to connect in advance to arrange lift sharing and coordinate arrivals.

The walk from parking to main camp is under 100 metres and is wheelchair accessible. Other areas of the site vary in terrain.


Practical notes
