Explore the Land
When you stay at Retreat Underwood, we invite you to embrace the natural world and plan time to notice all it has to offer.
Seasonal Forest Garden Offerings
Depending on when you stay at Retreat Underwood, nature’s bounty is often available to sample and purchase.
Our seasonal forest garden offerings include stinging nettle, fiddleheads, kale, plums, blackberries, huckleberries, salmonberries, wild berries, and herbs.
Garden Walks & Education
We offer guided nature walks, plant education, and forest bathing (minimum 20 minutes for $20). Forest bathing, or "shinrin-yoku," is a Japanese practice that involves immersing yourself in nature to promote wellbeing. Slow down, be present, and connect with the sights, sounds, and smells of the forest.
The Cromlech
Nestled quietly within the forest, the Cromlech at Retreat Underwood is a stone circle inspired by ancient traditions and a tribute to our Welsh heritage. The word "cromlech" comes from Welsh, meaning a gathering of stones.
The Cromlech is a place of reflection, ceremony, and connection to the land, a tranquil spot for contemplation or quiet gatherings, surrounded by the beauty of moss, ferns, and towering trees. Whether you visit at sunrise, dusk, or under starlit skies, the Cromlech offers a sense of peace and wonder.

Make a Connection
We have a philosophy of connection with self through connection with nature, and believe that the beauty and serenity of nature inspire personal growth and wellbeing.
We also recognize that we are part of nature, not separate from it. We share space and resources with all living things around us. In this spirit, we encourage guests to be present, tread gently, and enjoy the mutual relationship we have with our environment.
