SUMMARY:UNWIND IN THE WOODS: Forest bathing at Salcey
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to tune into nature? Let go of stress? Unwind and relax? \nJoin us for a journey among the beautiful trees of Salcey\, once part of a medieval royal hunting forest\, and still home to ancient oaks. Our sessions are designed to gradually calm body and mind\, with sensory activities carefully chosen to help you move from ‘doing’ to ‘being’ – all while exploring nature’s seasonal highlights. Our guided ‘treelaxation’ will help soothe away stress\, and you’ll leave with tips and tools you can use any time to help give you a mental and physical boost. \nYour guide will be Liz Burfield\, who trained as a forest bathing guide having experienced first-hand the benefits of mindfulness and nature on depression and anxiety. Her sessions are friendly\, down to earth\, and suitable for anyone who enjoys being outdoors.

SUMMARY:Naseby Battlefield Tour
DESCRIPTION:The best way to truly understand a battle is to walk in the footsteps of those who took part. Our tours follow those footsteps and give you unique access. The Naseby Battlefield Project offers public tours of Naseby Battlefield eight times a year. \nThese tours are often enriched by friends and supporting reenactor groups bringing key-aspects of the story to life on the actual battlefield. You will be surprised who you might meet. \nThe prices for public tours start at £25.00 per person. For this price we include our specially commissioned\, and highly rated Battlefield Maps & Interpretation Booklets – which are exclusive to Battlefield Tourists. To make sure that these are available we ask for you to pre-book the Battlefield Tours. We are sorry but we cannot accept visitors on the day. \nWe limit our group sizes to around 20 people. \nPlease note: The full tour lasts about 4 hours\, and will take you across the entire battlefield\, and extends to several miles. Public Tours offer some seats in a shared mini-bus\, but some of you might prefer to use your own cars. Either way we will need vehicles to get across the whole battlefield. \nRegrettably\, dogs are not allowed on our tours as some of it involves walking through working farmland. \nTo keep up to date with Naseby Battlefield Project news and battlefield tour dates visit out Facebook page or email us at enquiries@naseby.com
