No one can resist stopping for natural play here on the way to Disraeli's mansion - a vertical rope tower, carved viewing holes,stepping log structure and more.

This imaginative play area seamlessly blended natural tree trunks with the beautiful Chiltern woodland, orchard and garden at Hughenden. Carved log steps, clamber logs, rope bridges, and a scramble net—each inviting children to explore. At the heart of it all stands a vertical rope tower, crowned with a nest-like roof. Carved viewing holes allow curious eyes to peer out. And for our littlest adventurers, a stepping log structure eases them into the wider world of tree trunk play.

Surrounding the play area, native hedgerow trees forms a living fence, harmonizing with the landscape. Visitors enter through a welcoming log wall, and a rustic gate beckoned at the edge. As grown-ups relax on natural log seating, they watch their children play in nature.

Happy Customers

Read what our past clients have to say about us

We are thrilled with the playground Wildwood UK designed for us here at Flag Fen. The elegant design fits in perfect harmony with our site, which is famous for its Bronze Age causeway.

We wanted a play area that would engage children and introduce them to the historical significance of our location. The design not only provides a fun and imaginative space for our little visitors but also serves as a subtle educational tool, interpreting the archaeology of the site in a way that is both engaging and meaningful.

We are over the moon with our Wildwood playground here at school; it totally compliments the woodland in our local area. A professional build from start to finish - thank you Lawrence and team!

Chorleywood Parish Council has three Wildwood Dens across Chorleywood Common. They are expertly crafted and are a fascinating feature in their own right.

The Dens are very well used and enjoyed by children of all ages encouraging them to participate in natural and creative play whilst developing their skills in climbing and balance.
