Experience Autumn 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 ancient woodland in the most spectacular season.
Off-grid and offline this is a unique opportunity to completely 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!
Practicalities
Book either a space in a communal session or hire the whole sauna here:
https://www.rootsandrocks.co.uk/
Sessions will run at 10:30, 11:30, 12:30 & 13:30
Cold water will be to hand for hot and cold cycles or you can simply cool off outside.
Toilets are on-site and the café will be selling a selection of sandwiches, cakes and hot and cold drinks - and there’s another benefit - everything tastes better after a sauna!
From Midgehole Road car park, walk along the main path to Gibson Mill. You'll need to bring sturdy shoes, allow around an hour for this, and remember it’s part of the experience!
Changing space is limited – bring robes if you have them
