Wellness retreat in Wales

Planet

The venue for this Wild Wellness Weekend has been chosen specifically for its environmental credentials and sustainable approach to running a rural business. The site was recently awarded a Green Tourism Gold award and they are always actively looking for new ways to make the business as sustainable as possible. When the glamping site was built in 2014, the materials used to construct the tents were sourced and then built in the UK. All the interior structures were built using reclaimed materials.

The glamping site is situated in a 3 acre semi-ancient woodland. It is cared for following a coppicing management plan, which has resulted in regeneration of the woodland and every year they replant at least one hedgerow on the farm, providing a vital habitat for birds, insects and other animals.

We use a local caterer, who sources all the food from local providers. Not only does this reduce the food miles, but it supports the local community too.

The whole ethos of this venue is to get back to nature, having as little impact on the environment as possible and leading a more wholesome life. It's the perfect place for a wild wellness retreat, getting you back to nature and showing how you can incorporate some of this thinking into your daily life.

In addition to the venue, we also work with a number of other independent businesses to provide this retreat. We use a locally-based self-employed storyteller, bringing life to the myths and legends of Wales and sharing our heritage with visitors.
