Our long travelling visitors are back! Swallows are starting to build their nests, which can take up to 1,200 journeys for a pair to build. Most British swallows try to rear two broods each summer and some succeed in raising three. Come for a visit and see if you can spot them!

We were delighted our wonderful wood was centre stage of this year’s @BBCAutumnwatch! Chris Packham showcased the amazing wildlife our woodland has, including badgers as they left their sett at dusk for nocturnal fun, games and food. Check it out on @BBCiPlayer.

We are thrilled to have Charlie lined up as our next Writer in Residence for 2024-25!
An excellent way to start the day - being named @WythamWoods writer in residence for 2024-2025. 1,000 acre Wytham Woods was bequeathed to @uniofoxford in 1942 & it's the site of extraordinary scientific research, as well as a place to think, walk & write
