Prior to starting his fourth year at Oxford, he accepted a teaching post at Rossall School. He married Margaret in 1959, who he had met while the couple were at school.[1] He moved south with his family in 1967 to take up a teaching position at Charterhouse School as head of geography. He was a housemaster from 1976 and spent his spare time writing several geography textbooks. He retired from teaching in 1995 and moved to Malvern, Worcestershire. In retirement he enjoyed walks in the Malvern Hills, writing seventeen books about walks in the hills.[1] Woodcock died at Malvern in August 2015.[1]
