Wildwood Escot celebrates its first anniversary

It’s been one year since Wildwood and Escot joined forces. As a wildlife conservation charity, the support that we receive, through visits and membership, helps us to move closer to our vision of restoring the true wildwood. In the past year, we have added two lynx and a wildcat to our collection of animals in the park, and have continued to protect and nurture the other animals that live on site.

To celebrate, we have launched a brand-new passport trail – an exciting trail where children (and adults!) can go on an adventure in search of stamps to complete their passport, in return for a Wildwood Escot goody bag. Outdoor play and discovery is at the heart of the Wildwood Escot experience and we are confident that this trail will tease inquisitive minds and inspire visitors to explore and learn about the native and formerly native animals here in the park.

About Wildwood Escot

Wildwood Escot is East Devon’s conservation and wildlife treasure, with its winding woodland paths and beautiful flowers, creating the perfect environment for our collection of native and formerly-native wildlife.

Start your adventure by picking up a free visitor map, guiding you around over 200 acres of stunning parkland where guinea fowl and majestic peacocks roam freely. Meet rare red squirrels in our walk-through enclosure, test your orientation with our world-class beech hedge maze, and marvel at our birds of prey displays. Navigate the vast woodland, stumbling across our wildcat and lynx enclosures, and discover Jurassic Pork where wild boar and their piglets roll around in the mud! With a hidden playground, a heart-stopping drop slide and an indoor play barn all to be discovered, Wildwood Escot is the perfect place for a family day out.
