We are exceptionally lucky to have an enormous variety of bird species here at Redwood Valley. This is because of the range of habitats – ancient woodland, stream and meadow – and our nature-sensitive management of the site.
Join us during nesting season when birds are at their most active and the woods are carpeted with bluebells. This two night break includes two guided bird walks (each of about two hours in length) and yurt or cabin accommodation. Walks are pitched at beginners but enthusiasts are also welcome.
By the end of the stay you should be able to identify a range of woodland and garden birds and may have spotted some of our rarer visitors such as pied and spotted flycatchers, redstarts, dippers and long eared owls. Between walks there will plenty of time to explore the area on your own or simply put your feet up and relax in our luxurious yurts or Treetop Cabin.
Courses run from mid-April to mid-June. Bespoke courses also available. Please enquire here.
A magical weekend
'From the compelling poster to the last wave goodbye, my experience of Redwood Valley was altogether delightful. In beautiful old woodland, with congenial hosts and a generous teacher, I had the greatest fun being there; and I made a greenwood table from start to finish – a magical weekend.'
A taste of paradise
'That wasn't camping. That was a taste of paradise. Beautiful and luxurious facilities blending into a mature, natural woodland habitat teeming with wildlife. I cannot wait to get back there.'
A place to reflect and rest
'This amazing retreat is the most idyllic and peaceful place around. Whether sat by the yurt or enjoying dinner; the only sounds are those of the birds singing and the river flowing. The beautiful surroundings are romantic and inspiring; a place to reflect and rest.'
