WHAT’S IT LIKE STAYING AT CUFFLEY WOODS

There’s lots to choose from

Set within Cuffley’s private woodland, each camp is centred around a communal yurt and campfire space for meals, briefings and evening wind-downs. Your group will have its own dedicated field kitchen, along with spacious safari-style bell tents for sleeping.

Every Bushcraft stay at Cuffley is led by our experienced Instructors, who stay with your group throughout. They handle all activities, mealtimes and pastoral care, ensuring your students are supported and looked after from arrival to departure.
