BeWILDerwood, Adventure theme park in Hoveton, England
BeWILDerwood is an adventure theme park in Hoveton featuring woodland areas with treehouses, suspended bridges, and climbing structures connected by wooden walkways. The space incorporates electric boat rides and animatronic displays integrated throughout the natural landscape.
The park opened in 2007 when Tom Blofeld transformed the woodland next to his family home into a play space for children. This beginning established a place where literary characters and outdoor adventure merged within an existing woodland setting.
The park draws from Blofeld's children's books featuring Swampy, a marsh creature exploring the woodland with friends Moss and Leaflette. This narrative shapes how visitors move through the space and understand the themed environments around them.
The park operates seasonally from February through October, with admission based on height and free entry for young children. Allow enough time to explore all areas since attractions are spread throughout the woodland space.
Electric boats navigate the park's waterways with animatronic displays and water effects while maintaining low environmental impact. These boat rides offer a different perspective on the woodland and let visitors access areas that are difficult to reach on foot.
