Wellbeing

Escape the everyday and take time to relax, recharge, and reconnect in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley. Whether you’re looking for a luxurious spa break, a peaceful retreat, or simply a moment to slow down in nature, there are plenty of ways to prioritise your wellbeing in this tranquil setting.

From yoga retreats and floatation therapy to forest bathing and meditation sessions, there are experiences designed to soothe the mind and body. If your idea of relaxation is being out in nature, a gentle woodland walk, a peaceful river stroll, or a guided photowalk can be the perfect way to clear your head and refresh your spirit. Water lovers may find their calm with paddleboarding on the River Wye or taking a cold water dip at St Anthony’s Well, a historic spring known for its refreshing waters.

Wellbeing isn’t just about unwinding - it can also be about nurturing creativity and trying something new. Take part in arts and crafts workshops, from pottery to mosaics, or learn a new skill with a cookery class or a foraging experience. Round off your day with a locally sourced meal, a countryside afternoon tea, or a soak in a hot tub, surrounded by the peaceful landscapes of the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley.
