WILD & WELL HIKES
at nature’s pace

Guided walks amongst the spectacular scenery of the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. Giving you the chance to reconnect with nature, rewild your natural spirit and restore mind, body and soul.

Taking you away from the everyday, on a guided Wild & Well Hike you’ll experience the best the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales landscapes have to offer: majestic mountains, rolling hills, swooping valleys, sparkling lakes, wonderful waterfalls, fantastic flora and amazing wildlife.

Our hikes are not just about getting from A to B on a route march stomp, but involve giving you a dose of natural health and well-being goodness by truly tuning in, with all your senses, to what is around you.

The scientific research is now clear. Developing a deeper connection with nature – as opposed to just going for a walk – helps to: boost your immune system, reduce stress and anxiety, relieve depression, lower blood pressure, improve heart health, restore mental fatigue, increase creativity and productivity.

Nature truly is a miracle treatment with a transformative power to change our lives for the better.

Find out how to make the most of all the health and well-being benefits that water, woodlands and wildlife have to offer – you’ll be amazed! – and take the tools for nature connectedness back into your everyday life.

Cost:

£180 per day for 1 to 4 people for full day hike.

Add extra members for £20 per person up to a group size of 8.

Please get in touch for a bespoke price for larger groups or shorter hikes.

Adults and families welcome.

Dates and locations are flexible to suit you.

It is a deep-rooted practice that we can (should!) reclaim andrediscover. A sacred space removed from the demands of the outside world. Gathering round fire for warmth, comfort and conversation is aprimal and powerful part of our human experience. Fire has always made us feelbetter. The Women’s Fire Circle melds together the magic of gatheringround the warmth of the flames with the supportive power of our collective,feminine spirit. It’s a place to take a couple of hours away from the busynessand pressures of the everyday and use it whatever way you please. A place to share, to talk, to listen, to laugh (or cry). A place to be silent. A place to immerse yourself in the healing power of nature. A place to simply gaze at the flames if that is what you need. A place to drink tea and eat cake. A space to come together with other women just as you are. Monthly Women’s Fire Circles take place amidst the gorgeouswoodland of the National Trust Footprint near Windermere,generally around the time of the Full Moon, Equinoxes and Solstices. Tapping into the influence of the seasons, circles may includemeditation, creating, a little breathwork and gentle movement or simply alovely get together and natter around the fire. In the warmer months, I’ll becombining Women’s Fire Circles with an optional wild swim first.
