Discover Forest Bathing in Tatton Park’s Gardens and follow our step-by-step beginner’s guide, set beneath some of the Gardens most treasured trees.
Forest Bathing on your doorstep
Tatton Park is the perfect place to learn more about Forest Bathing and the art of re-connecting with nature. The Parkland and Gardens boast 1000s of trees; some of which have been there for 100s of years, no doubt giving pleasure over the centuries of countless members of the Egerton family, estate workers, rangers, gardeners and more recently, visitors. But has anyone known why these trees made them happy?
From a feeling to a science
Shinrin-Yoku (the Japanese term for forest bathing) has been studied in Japan for over 30 years. Their research into the health-boosting properties of trees has looked at the pleasure we feel walking through a forest, or just sitting beneath a tree and taken it from a feeling to a science. It has been scientifically proven that spending time beneath trees reduces stress levels, lowers your blood pressure and heart rate, boosts your immune system and increases feelings of happiness.
A beginner’s guide: The power of pine trees
The Pinetum in Tatton Park’s Garden is an invigorating introduction to Forest Bathing experience. Smell has a greater effect on our mind and body than any other sense. Take a log seat beneath the towering trees and breathe in the scent of pine. Pick up cones and needles from the floor or even run your hands along the branches. Pine resins can help many ailments but are especially helpful for easing breathing problems and aching muscles.

I want to note that there were times when I felt real anxiety that disturbed my everyday life, and my magic wand was therapist sessions with a licensed therapist from https://calmerry.com/online-therapy/ who guided my problem apart from great sessions; she gave me different tips on what I can do to stay calm and be I good mood and one of such issue apart from meditations, yoga practices and walking with dog was spending time on the nature wishing the beatiness of tree.
