Cornwall, 24th – 27th May Bank Holiday 2024
Wild Swim and Coastal Walking Retreat in Cornwall
Join us for a wild swim and coastal walking retreat over the May bank holiday in Cornwall. Spend an afternoon with swim coaches and learn the benefits of sea swimming and enjoy a swim together. On the second day enjoy a long coastal walk. Yoga twice a day and delicious plant-based food too of course!
New for 2024 – wild swim and coastal walking yoga retreat in beautiful Cornwall, UK.
Based within a stunning estate only 15 minutes away from some of the most famous beaches in north Cornwall, this location gives the perfect opportunity to relax in the beauty of the Cornish countryside whilst enjoying activities on the coast in the daytime.
After high demand we are introducing to our calendar wild swimming alongside our usual coastal walks and if you have the time or energy you can try out surfing or a SUP…why not?!
We have teamed up with a local Cornish wild swim company that are Open Water Swimming and Beach Lifeguard qualified to lead this half-day activity with a briefing, and some swim fit exercises before heading into the sea for a swim followed by hot chocolate and post-swim snacks on the beach with a debrief. Learn how to sea swim safely and build confidence if you are new to it and if a seasoned sea swimmer, share your experiences with others.
On the second day enjoy a coastal walk and enjoy the views and have an ice cream or even another dip in the sea.
After a fun day on the beach, come back to your country pile to relax in nature, enjoy yoga, delicious food, massage and cosy sofas to sink into or if sunny relax in the sun on a blanket on the lawns. The garden surrounding the manor house and additional properties is a 22-acre expanse of lawns, ornamental lakes, camelia woods, orchards and an incredible walled vegetable garden. When not enjoying yoga in the large studio the lawns create a perfect space for classes too.
There is something for everyone on our Cornwall adventures, if you prefer more walking you can enjoy this as the coastal paths are easy to follow and if you prefer more swimming, SUP or surfing, we can help arrange any of these activities.
Make this weekend retreat what you want and enjoy the relaxation and reinvigoration that comes with spending time in this beautiful place.
