There are at least 10 walks that start straight out of our garden gate here at the retreat.

Not including the 148 miles of the Viking Way itself.

On Tuesday we went on the 4km walk we call “reverse snake” … we name our local walks after something we’ve seen or has happened in the 20 years we’ve been here.
It helps to give it a name, it makes it memorable and … amuses us.
Reverse snake is the same as snake, but, the other way round 😂 …
We call it snake because just before the cows seen here we once saw a snake 🐍
It’s as simple as that !
Other walls include :
• Bullfinch / 4km
• Song thrush / 5km
• Goldcrest / 2km
• The quick one / 1km
• Balloon / 6km
• Berlin / 4km
• Goldfinch / 1km
• The Pub run / 7km … each way !
• Duck Race / 8km
• Snake and … reverse snake / 4km
• Snowdrop / 7km
• Karl’s midsummer favourite / 3km

**Which would you choose?**

We’re going to create detailed walk instructions for these over the winter !

Fly straight … be seeing you

Our ecological sustainability journey is now underway.
It’s something we’d considered at the start of the project, but felt it may take some time.
However through the initiatives supported by *booking.com* and their sustainability partners *BeCause* we’ve managed to gain a respectable 92% sustainability rating.

The next stage is through our solar project which we hope to have up and running by early 2025, meaning the Retreat will be self sufficient when it comes to all energy consumption.
The Retreat already enjoys water harvesting, sustainable planting, w**d borders and wildlife areas, high recycling ♻️ rates, ‘A’ rated insulation, the most efficient water heating solution, digital smart heaters, mains pressure hot water, and a large majority of the Retreat’s feature woodworking is from local reclaimed timber.
An EV charging station is in the pipeline too.
We’re aiming to make the Vikings Retreat a place you can visit knowing you’re enjoying an environmentally friendly experience.

** except not! We have a favourite mini-trip that we love to do. Live it because it involves both a pub and ice cream! It is a short trip from the Vikings Retreat to the King’s Head Pub in Tealby. …
