WOODSIDE APARTMENT
The Apartment by the Woods is a two-bedroom accommodation with full kitchen and is located next to Wynyard Woodland Park, Thorpe Thewles.
Woodside farm is a short drive to both Wynyard Hall and Hardwick Hall and is the ideal place for a family stay for those attending a wedding or event at one of these venues.
Wynyard Woodland is a great place to explore by bike or on foot and hosts weekly park runs and planetarium nights.
There is the option of two further guests staying in the living room on the comfortable sofa bed.
Wynyard Woodland Park (South)
Beautiful woodlands, footpath trails, cycle routes, a large play area, tea room, a programme of activities in the Station House and Planetarium and Observatory.
In the southern section there's a cafe in the former station house which also hosts a range of activities and events, and a large adventure play area nearby. The park is also home to Wynyard Planetarium and Observatory.
From the main car park and station house you can walk a short distance south to reach Stoney Field, with its woodlands and amazing Celestial Kitchen sculpture. Closer to the play area is the Arboretum Trail, where trees have been planted in the order in which it is thought they first started to grow in Britain.
If you head off in the opposite direction from the station house (going northwards along the main walkway) you reach Thorpe Wood, an ancient woodland of oak, ash and wych elm. A circular trail leads you through the wood, or you can carry on along the main walkway. If you take the time to stroll through the woods in the spring, at various times you will be rewarded by carpets of wood anemones, wild garlic and bluebells.
Following the walkway entering Thorpe Wood takes you through an old railway cutting, the banks of which are managed to promote wildflowers. These wildflower banks display a changing suite of flora as the spring turns to early and then late summer. Primroses, orchids, oxeye daisy, yarrow, birds foot trefoil, meadowsweet, great willowherb, rosebay willowherb and cow parsley are just a few of the flowers you can see throughout the growing season.
Continue further along the walkway to explore the northern part of the park.
