Lindengate – Better Health & Wellbeing for All, Through Nature
As the colder, darker weather continues, it is tempting to stay in the warm rather than exercise. However, it is important for us all to maintain our physical and mental wellbeing.

There are many benefits to spending just a few minutes a day outdoors. Here are some of them:

  • Regular exercise outdoors every day can improve both our mood and our physical health, leading to reduced stress and increased self-esteem.
  • Some research also suggests moderate exercise can strengthen the immune system, reducing the risk of coughs and colds.
  • Always make sure you’re warm before you go outside. Wear several layers to keep heat in and warm up for 10 minutes before you start.
  • Meet up with friends to exercise, whether a walk, run, or drop in to Lindengate during one of our open to all sessions (see website for opening times)
  • If you like to be active in the garden, there’s no reason why you should stop just because the temperature drops. You can plan a Winter garden, so there is always plenty to see and do, during the colder months of the year.

We look forward to welcoming you to Lindengate, where nature breathes new life into anyone looking for a little support with their wellbeing. Situated over 5 acres, take time for yourself and let nature nurture your wellbeing.
