If you enjoy watching Ray Mears on TV and would love to have your own outdoor experience in bushcraft and survival skills or to encounter our native wildlife, then read on! Our bushcraft courses or camps on Dartmoor could be just the thing you've been looking for.

Established in 1999, WildWise deliver an exciting, diverse programme of courses, camps and events for adults, children and families to inspire and inform you about the natural world. WildWise are specialists, creating exceptional opportunities in bushcraft and outdoor education for the general public, environmental organisations, corporate and private client groups.

WildWise's nationally acclaimed courses and events for children and adults have been seen on BBC's Blue Peter, Heaven & Earth, Truth About Food and also ITV's Country Lives.

In this practical hands-on workshop you will be able to recreate ancient technologies - building your own pit forge & general forge work e.g. charcoal making & fire-lighting skills using your own hand-forged flint & steel set. The forges are based on those dating back as far as the second
millennium BC, but they are no less effective than a fully equipped modern smithy. You will be able to choose different items to make, such as candlesticks, toasting forks and even a udimentary knife. Best of all, you will learn the principles and practice of blacksmithing with a master craftsman.
