Forest bathing: walk, forage, meditate and connect with nature
Take a nature reset.
- Booking essential
*BOOKING LINK COMING IN APRIL*
Join Kirstie Mawhinney of Through the Trees for a guided Forest Bathing experience.
Forest Bathing is a slow, sensory experience proven to ease anxiety, calm the nervous system, and deepen your connection with the natural world.
This three-hour walk covers 1–1.5 miles at a relaxed pace. You'll forage tea from the woodland floor, create simple eco-art and explore the forest through gentle movement, breathwork, and moments of stillness.
And in true National Trust style, your session will end with homemade cake baked by Kirstie.
