Our camps > Frithy Wood

FRITHY Wood

The calming Frithy Wood is one of our beautiful woodland camps.

Welcome to FRITHY WOOD

Nestled in the west of Suffolk, near to Bury St Edmunds we own 22 acres of ancient protected woodland. Which provides a  calming escape from overwhelming, everyday living. We welcome people to Frithy Wood to benefit from its rich biodiversity, thriving wildlife and tranquil setting.

Reconnect with yourself and others at your own pace by wandering through its trails, taking part in bushcraft skills under its sheltering leaves and cooking a meal with others around a crackling fire.

Frithy Wood is a stunning area of land in the middle of the Suffolk countryside that hosts a range of flora and fauna.
