About

We offer an excellent forest school for young intrepid adventurers.

Professionally run forest school with a level 3 forest leader with fire training. IFSA registered and fully insured.

The forest school is along a scenic 1.4km nature trail and is located approx. 10mins walk from the main car park. The forest school Ballynahinch is located in a dense beech tree woodland and has two tiers. The upper tier is covered by a large tent canopy and is all weather. The lower tier has a campfire area and a short trail down to a small pond for fishing out swimming wildlife.

Our professionally run forest school is packed full of activities led by a trained forest leader.

Your child will be immersed in a dense woodland setting with lots of mini activities to promote fun learning and understanding about nature.

Each session is 2hrs long. Parents and kids will be met at our car park by the forest leader and taken to the forest school. At the end of the session the group will make their way to our coffee trailer via our scenic trail for a free hot chocolate for the kids. Parents can purchase hot or cold drinks and traybakes. Then back to the car park.
