New Year’s Eve at The Retreat New Forest✨
A frost-kissed morning, ancient trees standing steady, and space to pause before the year turns.
May tonight be gentle, and the year ahead rooted in calm, clarity, and care.

With best wishes for the New Year,
From all of us at The Retreat New Forest 🌿

Foraging magic at The Retreat last weekend 🌿

Wrapped up warm, wellies on, wandered the grounds discovering the wild flavours growing all around us. From hedgerow finds to ancient oaks, it was a gentle and grounding way to spend a Saturday morning.

We can’t wait to welcome you back for more seasonal walks and feasts on the estate ✨
