Wildwood Devon, set within 45 acres of beautiful countryside in the heart of Devon, offers a unique wildlife experience focused on British and native species. Visitors can explore woodland trails and parkland habitats, home to animals such as red squirrels, wolves, bears, wildcats, and arctic foxes, all within a peaceful and natural setting.
The park blends wildlife conservation with family-friendly attractions, including a beech hedge maze, indoor and outdoor soft play areas, and a recreated Saxon Village where visitors can learn about traditional crafts and history. For those seeking adventure, activities such as climbing walls, a drop slide, and a 30-metre zip line provide plenty of excitement for children and adults alike.
From an accessibility perspective, Wildwood Devon offers a range of facilities to support visitors with limited mobility. The park includes accessible pathways, ramps, disabled parking, and accessible toilet facilities located in the café.
A designated wheelchair-friendly route is available and clearly marked on the park map, allowing visitors to navigate the main areas of the site. However, due to the natural woodland setting, most paths are compacted gravel with uneven surfaces, exposed tree roots, and gradients. This can make navigation more challenging for manual wheelchair users, and a reasonable level of fitness may be required. Electric wheelchairs or mobility scooters are recommended for a more comfortable visit.
While the majority of the park is accessible, one area towards the back of the site is not suitable for wheelchairs or mobility scooters. Staff are available to provide guidance on the most accessible routes and assist with planning your visit.
Assistance dogs are not permitted within the park due to animal welfare and biosecurity reasons. However, alternative arrangements can be made, including a staff or volunteer escort to support visitors during their visit. Advance notice is required to organise this service.
Free parking is available on-site, with designated disabled spaces located close to the entrance.
With its combination of wildlife conservation, outdoor adventure, and accessible routes, Wildwood Devon offers a rewarding and mobility friendly day out for visitors who are comfortable navigating natural terrain.
