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.
