About Us
Predominantly a members club but we welcome all ages and 'experience level' of naturists
Being a secluded site, it is easy to take your first steps into naturism at Woodpeckers.
The club has operated as a naturist site on and off for 20 years, renamed Woodpeckers in Wales after a change of ownership 4 years ago.
Named Woodpeckers due to the Woodpeckers that can often be heard pecking the trees in the woodland surrounding the site. If you're really lucky, you'll see one pop down to a bird feeder.
We will continue to build our catalogue of Frequently Asked Questions but we've made a start, please check here , if you can't find the answer to your question on the site, please contact us by email
