Discover a Multi-Sensory Escape in the Enchanting Woodland of the Lake District on the 9th & 29th June 2025
Armathwaite Hall’s “Forest Aroma Journey” provides guests with the opportunity to appreciate nature within the serene beauty of the Lake District. The multiple sensory experiences along the route are set in the perfect backdrop for reconnecting with nature, with minimal noise pollution, thanks to its remote and stunning landscape.
The "Forest Aroma Journey" is led by Armathwaite Hall’s wellness expert, Lucy Dunn, who has outlined the sensory experiences guests will encounter during their journey. Guest’s senses will come alive, weaving through various stops to enhance their connection with nature.
The journey starts with a 60-minute sensory walk through the estate's charming woodland. Lucy will guide guests through the sights, sounds, and scents of the forest, emphasising the wellness benefits of nature and the unique characteristics.
Guided by Lucy, guests will awaken the senses to the forest, discovering its healing power. Smell the crisp scent of pine or the grounding properties of ancient oak trees, whose bark and leaves offer antiseptic, and antioxidant benefits. Feel the soft earth and the delicate petals of wildflowers, and breathe in the pure, unpolluted air. Lucy will also discuss what guests will hear during the walk, including the wildlife in the forest, like the birds in the distance.
The journey extends to the serene shores of the lake that creates a meditative atmosphere, while the surrounding fells provide a sense of protection and grounding. This experience, combining the forest's soothing power, allows guests to deeply reconnect with nature and rediscover inner peace.
Lucy Dunn, Wellness Expert at Armathwaite Hall says, "We are proud to be launching our first Forest Aroma Journey at Armathwaite Hall. We continuously aim to create a sanctuary in our hotel where guests can connect with nature and find solace in the present moment. Crafting this programme has been immensely rewarding; it's more than just a walk, it’s a transformative journey of self-discovery and inner peace”
Guests will complete their Forest Aroma Journey at the spa, where they will indulge in a 55-minute aromatherapy treatment that utilises uplifting blends of essential oils to relax, stimulate, or refresh the skin, complementing the natural aromatherapy experienced in the forest.
Guests will choose from a selection of Temple Spa treatments that use an uplifting blend of essential oils to relax, stimulate or refresh the skin. Choose from the "Drift Away” treatment, a deeply relaxing top-to-toe massage formulated with a dreamy blend of Mediterranean essential oils including Frankincense, Lavender, and Patchouli. The "Work It Out" detoxifying massage relieves fluid retention and works out tired, aching muscles using detox massage oil including Juniper, Lavender, and Cypress. Or the comforting "Feel Good" energising full body massage, that uses an uplifting blend of Ginger, Lemon, and Bergamot that are carefully selected to stimulate and refresh the skin.
Following the treatment, guests can extend their relaxation with two hours in its award-winning spa facilities. The experience includes a glass of prosecco to enjoy while soaking in its luxurious hot tub—the perfect finale to the Forest Aroma Journey!
With little to no noise pollution in the Lake District, it becomes an idyllic sanctuary for those seeking to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature. Within the serene landscapes and peaceful surroundings, visitors are enveloped in a sensory experience allowing for a connection with nature.
