Soon the festive season will wind down again for another year, many of us will look forward to a fresh start. After weeks of indulgence, late nights, and the hustle and bustle of celebrations, there’s no better time to reset and recharge. Imagine starting your year with a peaceful retreat in the heart of Shropshire’s countryside, where the tranquil surroundings of our woodland lodges in Ellesmere provide the perfect setting for a natural detox.

Escape to Nature

Nestled among lush trees near a serene lake, our lodges offer more than just a getaway; they provide a sanctuary for the soul. Studies show that spending time in nature can reduce stress, boost mood, and even improve your immune system. Whether you take a brisk woodland walk or simply relax on the deck with a cup of herbal tea, you’ll feel the weight of the past year melt away in this idyllic environment.

Embrace the Benefits of Fresh Air

There’s something revitalising about the crisp New Year air. The surrounding woodland and lakeside location are ideal for gentle outdoor activities that can help rejuvenate your body and mind. Start your day with yoga on the lodge terrace, take a peaceful walk along the lake, or try forest bathing – a mindful practice of immersing yourself in the sights, sounds, and scents of the natural world.

Nourish Your Body with Wholesome Meals

Detoxing isn’t just about cutting out – it’s about nourishing and replenishing. During your stay, why not embrace a simple, wholesome menu featuring local produce? Shropshire is known for its fantastic farm shops and markets, where you can source fresh fruits, vegetables, and other healthy ingredients. Pair your meals with herbal teas or infused water, and you’ll feel renewed with every bite.

Digital Detox in a Disconnected Haven

One of the most refreshing aspects of our woodland lodges is the opportunity to disconnect from the digital world. While Wi-Fi is available, we encourage you to unplug and let the soothing natural environment take centre stage. Without constant notifications and screens, you’ll find more time to read, reflect, and truly unwind.

Reconnect with Yourself

The New Year is a time for setting intentions and focusing on self-care. Use your stay to practice mindfulness, journal your goals, or simply sit quietly by the lake and watch the ripples on the water. This is your time to reconnect with what truly matters and set a positive tone for the months ahead.

Activities for the Active Detoxer

Explore local walking trails, rent a kayak for a gentle paddle on the lake, or take a bike ride through the countryside. These activities not only help detox your body but also allow you to soak in the natural beauty of Shropshire.

What Nature Has in Store This January

January might seem like a quiet month, but Shropshire’s woodlands are brimming with subtle beauty and signs of renewal. Here’s what you can expect when you venture out into the woods near Ellesmere:

  • Frost-Kissed Landscapes: Mornings can sometimes greet you with a sparkling frost covering the ground, turning the woodland into a magical winter wonderland. The bare branches of trees create intricate silhouettes against the low winter sun.
  • Winter Wildlife: Keep an eye out for birds like robins and woodpeckers flitting among the branches, their bright plumage bringing pops of color to the muted tones of winter. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a deer or a fox making its way through the trees.
  • The First Signs of Spring: While winter is still in full swing, the first hints of spring begin to emerge. Look closely, and you’ll see snowdrops pushing through the frosty ground – a reminder that warmer days lie ahead.
  • Peaceful Lake Views: The stillness of the lake in January is mesmerising, offering stunning reflections of the surrounding trees. Ducks and swans glide gracefully across the water, creating ripples that add to the serene atmosphere.

Nature in January is a quiet yet powerful reminder of resilience and renewal, making it the perfect backdrop for your New Year detox.
