Dryad Bushcraft Wales

Survival wales coursesHunting with traps, paiute trapDryad Bushcraft Wales is one of the UK’s leading Bushcraft and Survival schools, and one of very few full time specialist providers of high quality practical instruction. Bushcraft instruction for us is not something we do on the weekends, or whenever we have spare time between our other jobs, we live it, all the time.

So; when you attend one of our Bushcraft and Survival courses you can be assured that the techniques you learn will be accurate tried and tested methods, which will work when you most need them.

Dryad Bushcraft is based on the Gower Peninsular in South Wales. The natural beauty of the location earned it the prestigious honour of being awarded the UK’s first AONB (Area ofoutstanding natural beauty) in 1959. Although the majority of our courses are situated on Gower in South Wales, we also run survival courses and Expeditions throughout Wales as well as the rest of the UK and internationally.
