Why choose Wyre?
The Forest is sustainably managed by the Forestry Commission, with a dedicated Education area fenced from public access. There are also over 6000 acres of wider forest used for some of our activities. The forest has a good network of surfaced, accessible paths, themed trails and orienteering courses. The Wyre is a mixed semi natural woodland, with opportunity to explore Broadleaf and Coniferous trees and a wealth of native wildflowers and plants. The site is managed to provide a range of habitats and opportunities for exploration from pond dipping to minibeast hunts. There are several covered purpose built fire pits, ample shelter building materials, and the 'Discovery Centre' where groups can get closer to native animals of the forest and discover more about how the forest is managed.
There are two purpose built meeting rooms which are available to hire for lunch and can be used as additional classroom space and a covered picnic area subject to availability on the day of your visit.
