Sauna in nature at Hardcastle Crags with fire, steam and stones in a traditional wood-fired sauna. Set beside the pond at historic Gibson Mill, you’ll sauna surrounded by bird life and ancient woodland.
Off-grid and offline this is a unique opportunity to relax and revitalise in the most glorious of settings. Outdoor sauna is a complete physical and mental reset and you’ll emerge feeling clear, expansive and awake.
The pathway to the sauna is wood-lined and undulating, filled with sounds of birds and the river, with far reaching views across treetops and along the valley. Traditionally the pathway to the sauna is an important part of the ritual as you prepare to leave daily routine behind and enter the liminal space of the sauna. Your return journey along the path will feel quite different. And so will you!
