We specialise in
Bringing Play, Conservation, and People together
Children have played in nature for millennia but many children are no longer allowed or able to do this. We are losing touch with nature and connections to places by corralling our children in designated manufactured playspaces, where risk taking is often limited and play is prescribed by the designers.
Just under a third of all young people in the UK play outside and when they do, they are mainly at school where play is often confined to tarmac and pavements
Conventional play equipment is often generic, sterile and full of artificial materials which takes young people further away from nature and any connection to the place where they play
The term ‘natural play’ is now widely applied to any manufactured equipment made out of wood. We understand it to have a much deeper meaning
Bringing nature back for a healthier future
We’re passionate about U.K. wildlife, but it's no secret that nature is in trouble. The latest State of Nature Report 2023 paints a pretty grim picture of the impact we're having on wildlife.
At Wildwood UK, we believe our play structures and wild landscapes can be part of the solution. We're not just creating habitats for struggling species—we're sparking conversations, encouraging active learning, and inspiring a deep love for the natural world.

The Park has since won a design award and we receive frequent visits from other local authorities who want to replicate what Wildwood UK created for us.

All made with natural local wood so it looks amazing, and our three teen/tweenage boys will play on this thing for years. Pretty sure Wildwood UK do something unique - completely recommend them.
