From the moment I arrived, it was evident that this outdoor education centre is a gem for those seeking a unique and enriching learning experience.
The standard of instruction at Tangier Wood is nothing short of outstanding. The instructors demonstrated an unparalleled level of expertise, providing clear and concise guidance while fostering an environment of active learning. Their passion for the subjects they taught was infectious, making every lesson engaging and enjoyable.
Jordon and Jodie's dedication to assisting participants and creating a positive atmosphere was evident throughout the day. They went above and beyond to address questions, offer support, and make everyone feel included. It's rare to encounter such helpful and genuinely caring staff members, and their impact on the overall experience was significant.
The diverse range of activities provided a hands-on learning experience that was both challenging and rewarding. For cadets seeking to expand their skill set, Tangier Wood offers a unique and comprehensive learning opportunity. The combination of a stellar instructional team, engaging activities, and a beautiful natural setting makes Tangier Wood an exceptional choice for those looking to enhance their knowledge and capabilities.
In conclusion, my time at Tangier Wood was a transformative experience that exceeded all expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend this outdoor education centre to anyone seeking a blend of education, adventure, and personal development. The memories created and the skills acquired by the Marlborough College cadets at Tangier Wood will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact.

“A great experience for our new Cadets on their first night under canvas. Jodie and Jordan provide an excellent teaching and learning experience in great surroundings. We will be booking our next visit shortly.”

“We heard so much about this place from other Units - we went to meet Jordan and Jodie and have a look at what’s on offer and we weren’t disappointed. We decided to do a CCF sixth form survival package. The delivery and the way Jodie and Jordan were towards the staff and Cadets was second to none. The Cadets had an amazing 24hrs. Booking again to do another package with the younger Cadets. I highly recommend this excellent place.”

"Outstanding from start to finish. the most professional, slick and action-packed programme delivered by high quality directing staff throughout. Without doubt we will be re-booking on a regular basis as Tangier Wood has it all."

Lt Rob Wilson, Reigate Grammar CCF
Gad's Hill School CCF
"There genuinely are not enough superlatives to describe the Tangier Wood experience. From the moment of booking through to the end of the Exercise, their attention to detail, and desire to deliver training that is bespoke, of high quality, and, most importantly, enjoyable is flawless.
Paperwork ticks all the boxes, as required of schools and CCF, and the instruction is tailored to the learner. This is then delivered succinctly, with passion and a high degree of assured subject knowledge. Cadets spend the bulk of the time practically engaged, and leave Tangier Wood happy, eager for more and a good deal more skilled in how to gain the most from the outdoor experience, whatever that may entail.
We will most definitely continue to use Tangier Wood for as long as Jodie and Jordan will allow us!"
