Wild Bushcraft Company

The Wild Bushcraft Company provides fully immersive outdoor experiences like no other. Just imagine escaping deep into the woods for the weekend, sleeping under canvas, cooking over campfires and being completely absorbed in learning a new skill - be that fire lighting, knife making, bow-making or venison butchery. We are really big on food, and meat in particular. We are experts in deer stalking and offer the only course in the UK where you can learn how to butcher and cook your own venison - the popular Stalk to Fork experience. We can make the experience as fun and accessible as you want it to be - we cater for individuals, couples, families, stag and hen parties and corporate groups. You tell us what you want to get of your time with us and we will craft an experience you will never forget. We are based in North Wales but operate across the UK all year round.

Snowdonia National Park

Reviewed By captaingreggs - Liverpool, United Kingdom

Came on holiday to snowdonia this weekend and the first days it was a visit to Betsi Co Ed, spent the day walking around the town spreading corona virus and generally causing a nuisance with our North Face Jackets on. After the big Betsi day it was time to climb the biggest mountain in the Uk, actually I think Europe, maybe even the world. Snowdon Car park was full so we just double parked on the road, there were signs up saying no parking but they must have been for Somone else. I set off climbing in my best pair of Adidas sliders and now they are ruined due to the appalling state of the path, I really think this needs to be repaired before more people ruin their best flip flops. Great to get to the top although the que to touch the summit was about an hour. Decided we wanted to ‘wild camp’ as we had seen it on Instagram so we took our 15 person tent to Llyn Gayreoned where we pitched it up in the middle of the car park. It was a totally epic experience, we collected fire wood by breaking branches off all the near by trees and had a huge campfire on the nice bit of grass next to the lake. Sadly the bins were overflowing so we just had to leave our rubbish all over the grass and car park but it was ok as the wind got up and blew it all away in to the lake Does Bear Grills poo in the woods? Yes he does and so do we, what a Liberating experience pooping where ever we fancied, we also left little piles of toilet paper where ever we dropped one off, like a cute little calling card On our last day we decided to visit conwy, so many people, carnt believe how busy it was, no chance of social distancing, ah well. Ate chips on the quay, fed most of them to the cute seagulls. Had ice creams, got attacked by the seagulls, perhaps they aren’t that cute. All in all a good holiday but really hope we can go on our package holiday to Benidorm next year, it’s warmer, beer is cheaper and they speak English not that funny Welsh

Beddgelert Forest

Reviewed By davidrO9072ED - Perth, Australia

Lovely walk through the Welsh countryside and woods. There are several paths to take, well signed with intermittent posts and coloured arrows. Beautiful scenery and great for dogs. Our walk took approximately an hour.

Coed y Brenin Forest Park

Reviewed By I4996RBjoannap - Brough, United Kingdom

We walked the red route to the waterfalls which was well worth it, note that some of the tracks were like a river due to it being so wet. Clear signposts marking the routes along the way. Plenty of different walks and distances detailed at the beginning, same for the bike tracks. £2 min to park for 2hrs + additional for anytime over, however paid for when you leave so only pay for what you use. Toilets are still open in visitor centre. Note that bike hire currently requires you to bring your own hat due to Covid Well maintained tracks and would recommend anyone that enjoys the outdoors.
