Basil, the miniature Shetland is the main star of the show! We will begin by walking across the grounds to Basil’s stable where we will groom his coat, giving him breakfast, cleaning his feet and brush his mane. We will then take him for a walk around the property collecting some of his favourite healthy snacks (tree branches & plants). And visiting some of his fluffy friends along the way - Mooona Lisa and the highland cows, Benji the new forrest pony, Bernard the feisty cockerel, and AberaLamb Lincoln and WilliLamb Shakespeare the herdwick rams. I advise bringing Wellingtons or boots as the paddocks can be muddy in winter. Following this we will head over to the walled garden for tea, cakes and pastries. Basil’s coming too don’t worry! You will also have the opportunity to meet any of the other animals should you wish too, but please let us know ahead of time if there’s any in particular you’d like to meet so we can move them to paddocks nearer the house. We will then take Basil back to his paddock with some goodbye treats and hugs! *MORE DATES/TIMES AVAILABLE ON REQUEST.* Please enquire if you don’t see the dates you’re looking for. Groups of 2 or more guests please be aware you can book a private session for the same price as a public one. We look forward to meeting you! Other things to note British weather is unpredictable and you may need warm clothing and a rain mac and hiking boots or wellies.

I offer 1 1/2 hour tea foraging experience based at my home. Whatever the weather, we will spend the time outside, so do dress appropriately. We will start, as one should, with a fresh cup of tea and a little chat about what interests you most that is outside at this time of year. Together we will venture forth to find and gather some plants suitable for tea. Many grow wild, some are planted intentionally by me. It might be that we also use some that I harvested earlier and have dried and stored. We will talk about their qualities and traditional use and how they might be combined for different effect. We will spend some time together preparing and tasting some of these plants as infusion (tea), so that you're confident you know how to brew your own when you get back home. The session will be accompanied by lots to inspire the senses - be it relating to fragrance, food, beauty or health. You will leave feeling inspired and like you have 'new eyes' for the wild life around you. You will take away either a posy of herbs for tea or decoration, or a packet of your own 'signature' blend of leaf tea. Other things to note We will be outside, so please dress appropriately with waterproof clothing and footwear that is suitable for rough ground, long grass and if you are adventurous - the woodland jumble. Please don't bring your dog.

Welcome refreshments and pastries upon arrival. Then out to meet the llamas. First, a talk on llamas and their origins, what they eat and drink, the various parts of their bodies and some telltale characteristics that help us understand how the llama is feeling. Once everyone is comfortable being near the llamas, we will head into the paddocks to actually meet them and give them carrot and parsnip pieces. Up close and personal like this is the best way to actually experience the benefits of being around llamas. Here are the benefits: For mental health –  Decreases isolation and depression  Causes many to feel calm  Bridges communication gaps  Provides comfort  Reduces boredom  Lowers anxiety and decreases agitation After spending time with the llamas, it's time for lunch: a traditional cream tea, with sandwiches, scones, clotted cream, strawberries and cakes. Please ensure you let us know of any dietary requirements. The total experience will last approximately 3 hours. Other things to note Llamas are very timid, gentle, calm and quiet animals. They do not spit at or hurt humans. Consider glamping as well: https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/24826513?s=51

We will walk through Stamford Town, out towards the meadows, walk through fields to a village called Easton, and then through Wothorpe Forest, and finish at Burghley House. We’ll walk through the historic Georgian town of Stamford to admire the buzzing high street, and make our way through the meadows, out towards the most quintessential English landscape. We’ll start in the centre of Stamford, where you’ll find a high street steeped in history and stunning architecture. I’ll show you the little lanes and places that are truly instagram worthy. Then once we’ve explored the town, we will walk to the popular meadows, and out towards the rolling Rutland fields where we’ll walk to another hidden English village, Easton-on-the-Hill. We'll walk through Easton to admire the beautiful British village, and then walk through Wothorpe forest, where you'll discover the lost Wothorpe Towers. We will finish our walk going through Burghley House. It’s something straight out of a story book. You’ll feel like you’re walking through a Jane Austen novel. You’ll leave with a total appreciation for the natural beauty of this location. Dubbed as one of the UK’s best places to live by The Sunday Times, you’ll see the beauty of both the historic town, and the natural landscape. Other things to note You don't need to be super fit to enjoy this walking experience, but I would recommend that you can manage 6 miles comfortably. We will go at a steady pace, and take plenty of breaks for photo opportunities. There is some uphill walking, and uneven ground, so you will need to be steady on your feet.
