The Highlands is a new and unique area within the Glenny Wood campsite which will be our fantastic Wild Camping and Backwoods activities area. This will be intentionally very basic and wild. This is the type of area which now-a-days is not often available and will be a great place to try something new, step out of your comfort zone, learn new skills, and having a lot of fun.

Upon his retirement at Chairman / Warden of Glenny Wood Campsite since 2006 the work team of Angus, Jill, Andy, Phil S, and Tony presented Phil with a unique Sculpture. The plaque reads

"Many thanks for all you have done to make Glenny Wood such a special place"

On Tuesday 13th May As part of the IT experts Ping Identity's World wide Volunteering day 12 team members from the Bristol office, supported by Phil W from the Glenny team had a fabulous day undertaking further developments to the Highlands Area

The team build a "Dead" Hedge, which was around 20 metres long and is a great natural feature for this area.

The team work was fabulous and they achieved so, so much. Many thanks to all the team volunteering and working hard at creating the Dead Hedge

We have just submitted a planning request to greatly improve our sleeping and toilet facilities linked to the lodge.

The planning requested is for 6 cabins to be placed above the lodge on the grass area to provide 5 Cabins for sleeping accommodation, which we suggest are 4 Cabins for young People and 1 cabin for Leaders.

Each Cabin can accommodate 8 people

The 6th Cabin is a loo and shower cabin for the extended Lodge facilities.

As part of the design and submission significant planting around the cabins has been built in to maintain the Woodland nature of our site.

Woodlands Trust have donated 420 small (50 centimetre) saplings to Glenny. We have planted these to form a new hedge between Apple plateau and our new Apple Orchard.

We have also planted the saplings between the trees planted along side the new stream area and as essential infill on hedges planed over the last 2 years or so.

We look forward to welcoming members of the Scout and Guide Association to visit us for an evening / day and to stay with us,  either camping, using the lodge or both

We also welcome D of E Groups, Schools, along with other organisations with a similar ethos to that of The Scout Association

For 2025 we have decided that there will be no increase in fees.  We believe with all the Camping areas, evening opportunities, Activities and Campfires we offer great value for Scouting and to other organisations. 

So come along and book to go to Glenny Wood and great place for adventure and a bargain to use.
