Our connection to the natural world is, at times, tenuous and this can have a negative impact on our wellbeing.
With 20,000 acres of woodland, rivers, moorland and hill farms on the Swinton Estate we are blessed with an unparalleled resource. Being at one with nature is integral to our wellbeing, both for an individual or for groups who want to work together better.
We work with and embrace the elements, using our alfresco spaces in the Spa Garden, Bivouac Yurt and Deer House for group activities such as reiki drumming, tai chi and meditation, informal dining and craft & creative sessions. For complete solitude we have our Bothy Huts high up on the moors, and the Lake House on our private island.
On the water, we offer wild swimming, Wim Hof, paddle boarding, sound therapy and raft building. In the woodland and gardens we have a community orchard, forest bathing, a barefoot path and woodland wellbeing hammock space. In the wider landscape we have walking and orienteering, and cycling on the Estate’s country lanes.
Making the connection between the food we grow and eat is also at the heart of what we do, and this is best demonstrated in our kitchen garden where the chefs pick their produce for the day and we provide guided walks with our gardener. Our foraging sessions take you into the Parkland and beyond, exploring all that there is edible that is growing wild. At the cookery school, the ingredients come to life with hands on courses and demonstration Chef’s Table meals.
The Swinton Country Club is our wellness hub, providing treatments and holistic therapy, exercise in our studio and gym, and relaxation with indoor and outdoor pools, saunas and steam rooms.
Getting back to nature takes us back to basics and this is where both an individual and a team can best develop. On Swinton Estate we can provide one to one or group experiences as part of a training or incentive programme. These can be combined with accommodation in our hotel, cottages, yurts and tree lodges.
Please contact us if you would like us to create a bespoke package for your team.
Working with Yorkshire charities, Swinton Estate provides support for those in need. This includes carers, veterans and victims of exploitation and assault. Support can take the form of providing rest, relaxation and activities, and work experience for those rebuilding their lives. Access to natural wellbeing is integral to this.
