Land Use

If you would like to use the land at Willsbridge Mill for an event or for an organised activity, please contact us for booking and permission.

 

Booking

Although we welcome schools, clubs & play groups, it is helpful to agree dates with us in advance as the site is relatively small and there is several other activities and forest schools running regularly onsite.

Please find our booking form here

Supervision

It is important that children are always supervised and that group organisers/leaders have undertaken appropriate risk assessments.  Please contact us if you need assistance with this.

Children should be dressed for the weather conditions and it is advisable that they wear long trousers for woodland play.

Activities involving tool/fire use must only be organised by Level 3 qualified Forest School or bush-craft leaders or equivalent and they must have obtained the permission of WMCR.

Please ensure that your group respects the area – leave no trace of your visit.  Our volunteers work hard for all the community to enjoy.

Parking

Parking is limited, where possible please use the main car park at Long Beach Road, and walk the beautiful path down through the valley/nature reserve.  There is parking for around 6 cars in the lay by on Willsbridge Hill with just a few in the lane.

The road through the site must be kept clear at all times, so we prefer our visitors to use the parking areas mentioned above.
