People are invited to take a mindful walk through the woodlands of Ennerdale this autumn on a new wellbeing trail.
The self-led trail winds through the trees, encouraging visitors to pause, unplug and mindfully reconnect with nature as they walk.
It has themed panels inviting people to slow down, notice and absorb the beautiful woodland landscape as they walk.
A forest wellbeing journal is also available to download for people to record their reflections and it also offers ideas for mindful activities to try out in the forest and at home.
Sonia Dryden, active forests co-ordinator at Forestry England, said: “We’re delighted to offer this wellbeing experience to our visitors.
“As autumn’s colours begin to show, it’s the perfect season for a mindful walk. We know how much benefit people feel taking time for themselves to relax and experience the restorative effects of the forest.
“The wellbeing journal is a wonderful way to continue noticing with all our senses the incredible sights, sounds and restful benefits that nature offers us.
“We look forward to welcoming people to visit the trail. Each season will offer a new perspective on the wonderful landscape here at Ennerdale.”
Ennerdale is one of 18 wellbeing trails Forestry England now has in place across the country.
