Why not book a Float in The Forest - the perfect way to destress

Float in the Forest is Gloucestershire’s floatation centre, based in the Forest of Dean between Whitecroft and Bream.

Floatation is a relaxation therapy where you float on the surface of warm water saturated with Epsom salt (550kg of it!).  Due to the buoyancy there is no pressure on your body, so all your muscles can relax and let go of tension.  In the absence of stimulation, your mind can drift off into peace and quiet.  Floating can help with stress relief, pain relief (including back pain, arthritis and fibromyalgia), sports rehabilitation and more.  Many people use it as an aid to meditation, others just for fun and relaxation.
