Whistlewood Common is more than just a woodland; it’s a community garden, wildlife meadow and vibrant hub of activities and learning. A field shelter serves as an outdoor classroom, hosting workshops on greenwood working and other crafts. Yoga sessions, campfire suppers, and even camping nights offer a space for relaxation and connection with nature.
