Go wild this summer in our Woodland Play Area

Every Wednesday during the school holidays is a Wild Wednesday, with a morning of activities in the Woodland Play Area on Claverton Down. The Skyline rangers and events team will be on hand with a whole host of activities for you to try. There is a different theme each week, from bugs and mud to sticks and pirates.
