meeting the needs of the national Curriculum. The activities range from pond
/ stream life exploration and mini-beast discovery to Earth Education, environmental
games and historical studies. A number of role play programmes have been developed
covering habitats, natural recycling and plant life cycles. The Country park
has its own orienteering course and tree trail. Sessions can be led by a member
of the Wycoller staff or, alternatively, groups can borrow equipment from the
Centre. With an indoor class room, lecture room, toilet facilities, kitchen
and display area Pepper Hill Barn offers the ideal base from which to explore
the Country Park. It is also a desirable venue for workshops, meetings and training
days. The lower floor of the barn is accessible to visitors using wheelchairs.
