Forest bathing or as the Japanese call it ‘shinrin yoku’ is a method of being calm and quiet amongst the trees, observing nature around you whilst breathing deeply. Some may prefer to just call it a walk in the woods but calling it ‘forest bathing’ adds a touch of romance and magic haha :-) Today was a welcome break from the grey and drab winter days we’ve had this week, the sun was glistening down through the trees creating a magical light speckled atmosphere. We chose Blaise Castle Estate for our ‘forest bathing’ we’re lucky as it’s just a few minutes from our door. It’s a place where natural beauty and interesting history combine.
