Welsh Walking retreat

Join us for a wonderful weekend of connection, fresh air and hiking in some of the UK’s most scenic destinations. Our ethos is about really taking time for ourselves to be in nature, the mountains, the woods, the rivers and be fully present with no specific destination in mind. We wander, talk, connect, relax and bathe in the fresh air of the mountains and the (hopefully weather dependant) magnificent views.

Accommodation 

 

We will all be staying at the  Snowdonia Hub

 

The Hub is a fantastic place to host these retreats; set in some of Snowdonia's most beautiful mountains, with gorgeous grounds to explore and lots of shared spaces to relax in. Take a look at the website if you'd like to see photos. 

 

Rooms are spacious and shared, so you will be sharing a room with a few other people (max 4 persons per room)

 

Bed linen is provided. (Please see the bottom of the page for  Kit List).

 

Food

 

All food is included in the Retreat. It is all Vegetarian or Vegan. 

 

Breakfast and Lunch will be self service.

 

Dinner each evening will be a sat down meal with 2 courses. 

 

The food will be prepared and cooked by a professional caterer and we can work around most dietary requirements. 

 

The booking form will give you the chance to let us know about any dietary requirements.

 

Example Itinerary

 

You are invited to join as many activities as you would like to; everything is optional. We try to run itinieraries that cater for everyone and are relaxed enough that you could join all of them, but you may choose to sit some out too - it is your weekend. 

 

The grounds of the accommodation offer lots of space for you to relax in - including gorgeous woodlands, a river and mountain views , as well as inside spaces.
