42 Acres
Rest, reconnect, return to nature
A retreat here can mean yoga among ancient trees, a pause beside the lake, or simply a few days with the pace of the countryside. Across 173 acres of wild meadow and woodland near Frome, 42 Acres brings a regenerative outlook to a restful, eco-conscious stay. Retreat experiences may include therapeutic yoga, practices focused on the nervous system and time for quiet contemplation. Seasonal food and a lakeside sauna add grounded pleasures to the programme, while the surrounding landscape makes stepping outside feel like part of the retreat itself. The emphasis is on reconnecting with yourself and the natural world rather than following a single named spiritual tradition. Activities and daily rhythms depend on the retreat you choose, so check the individual programme before booking. It’s a good fit for travelers who want nature, restorative practices and thoughtful hospitality in one rural setting.
