Facilities for humans at Wytham Woods

As well as being a great habitat for wildlife, Wytham Woods is also a great habitat for humans. With 1000 acres there are plenty of places to enjoy, but like badgers to their setts, sometimes some humans like to go back indoors.

Our education activities are based at “The Chalet” - yes it really is a Swiss Chalet - a large comfortable house in the middle of the Woods, built by and used as a hunting lodge by the ffennell family in the ‘20s and ‘30s, which has recently been beautifully refurbished to create a base for Wytham researchers and other users. The Chalet has a well equipped kitchen, a seminar room / classroom which can take up to 25 people seated, a couple of labs and work rooms for researchers, plenty of toilets, two small dorms and some single bedrooms, and a lovely attic apartment with a living room and its own kitchen.

Outside there is a lovely garden with shelters and chairs, and a huge ex army parachute shelter with hay bales and seats for larger gatherings. We generally head back here for lunches, and this is the venue for evening camp fires and BBQs.

There is plenty of parking at the main car park, which is a 20 minute walk to the Chalet. Cars, minibuses, and even coaches by arrangement, can drive right up to the Chalet if logistics or mobility requires it.
