Press pause, relax & unwind in our beautiful woodland setting. Evoke feelings of calm, contentment and connection with yourself and nature.

Step away from the stresses of daily life and immerse yourself in the tranquillity of our park and woodland setting. Our guided Forest Bathing Session invites you to slow down, awaken your senses, and deeply connect with nature in a mindful and restorative way.

Wander through the woodland at a leisurely pace, engaging all your senses—mindfully notice the exquisite beauty of your surroundings, breathe in the fresh, earthy aromas, feel the textures of bark, listen to the soothing sounds of birdsong, and absorb the calming atmosphere of the forest. The experience features mindful invitations helping to be grounded, present and to completely unwind beneath the leafy canopy, followed by a warming woodland tea.

Rooted in the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, Forest Bathing is a proven method to enhance well-being, with benefits including:

Easing anxiety, stress, and overthinking

Balancing blood pressure and reducing cortisol levels

Strengthening the immune system

Boosting creativity and mental clarity

Improved sleep, memory, and concentration

What you need to know

Meet at 11.00am at the main visitor reception.

The experience will last around 2 hours.

You may want to bring a small backpack containing a water bottle, extra layer, waterproof or sun cream and hat on warmer days. We expect the sessions to go ahead in all but the worst of weather.

We recommend wearing long trousers and walking shoes or boots but strong trainers or wellies will do for most of the trails we will use.

There are limited spaces so please make sure to book.

Parking charges apply at all times.
