Wytham Woods Important Update
Temporary closure dates
The Wytham Woods Team would like to inform all permit holders of three upcoming weekends when the Woods will be closed to all visitors:
Friday 5 November 2021 – Monday 8 November 2021 inclusive
Friday 14 January 2022 – Monday 17 January 2022 inclusive
Friday 11 February 2022 – Monday 14 February 2022 inclusive
No access will be possible within these times.
Please note that for each period, the Woods will close on the Thursday evening and reopen on the Tuesday morning.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we undertake essential woodland management.
If you are still waiting for the arrival of your permit card, we’d like to thank you for your continuing patience as we work our way through a large backlog of applications.
As always we would like to take this opportunity to remind you to respect the rules of your permit card and stick to the paths. Wytham Woods is no ordinary woodland and research projects carried out here have global significance. We have over 100 researchers actively pursuing projects in the Woods and it is vital that their study areas and the flora & fauna which they contain are undisturbed. The map which you receive with your permit card shows the paths which you are permitted to walk. If you have only so far received a temporary e-permit, please click below to download a copy of the map.
