Wynyard Woodland Park
Wynyard Woodland Park has a diverse range of wildlife habitats including woodlands, grasslands, hedgerows and wetlands. These habitats are home to over 670 species of mammals, amphibians, fish, invertebrates (insects), trees, grasses, wildflowers and fungi. Many of these habitats have vanished locally making the park an important wildlife refuge with some areas classified as Local Nature Reserves.
The visitor centre is usually the starting point for anyone making a visit to the park. The building itself is a Victorian station house dating from the 1850’s and has been refurbished several times, most recently in 2004. It is home to the Gift Shop, Farm Shop and Tea Rooms and is the site base for the countryside rangers. Wynyard Woodland Park's farm shop offers a wide range of gifts and foods to take away. Goods are reasonably priced and many make ideal gifts for that special occasion.
Although most areas of the park have flat paths and are reasonably wheelchair friendly some areas, particularly Thorpe Wood, are less so. Disabled access maps show the sort of information that the less able bodied will find helpful, including gradients, locations of steps, seats and gates. Disabled access information for most of Stockton’s countryside sites is contained within our ‘break free’ leaflets.
