Life on the Hedge: How Nature and Trees Can Bring Calm to Our Lives

In today’s fast-paced world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the demands of work, family, and the digital overload. But if you’ve ever taken a moment to sit beneath the shade of a tree or wandered along a country lane, you’ve likely felt the unmistakable sense of peace that nature brings.


Here at Bowhayes Farm, we see first hand how the simple presence of trees and hedgerows can transform not just the landscape, but also our state of mind. Whether you’re here for a short stay, camping under the stars, or just visiting for a day, the environment around you has a way of helping you unwind.


The Healing Power of Trees

Trees have been our quiet companions for centuries, standing tall through the changing seasons. But beyond their beauty, trees offer a deeper kind of support. Research has shown that spending time in green spaces—whether that’s a woodland walk or a peaceful garden—can significantly reduce stress, anxiety, and even feelings of depression.


At Bowhayes Farm, you can feel that connection instantly. Whether you're strolling through our tree-lined paths or sitting near the orchard, the calmness of the trees becomes a part of your stay. The sound of leaves rustling in the breeze or the sight of sunlight filtering through a canopy has a way of grounding us, reminding us to breathe a little deeper.


Why Hedgerows Matter Too

Our farm hedgerows are not just about practicality. They offer a sense of protection, a natural boundary that provides privacy and a feeling of being cocooned by nature. When you stay with us, these quiet, leafy lanes are there to guide you—whether you're heading out for a morning walk or retreating to your accommodation for some much-needed rest.


Hedgerows are the perfect metaphor for how nature can act as a buffer for our mental well-being, offering us a sense of safety and enclosure when life feels overwhelming. You’ll feel it when you’re here.


Stay at Bowhayes Farm and Reconnect

A stay at Bowhayes Farm is more than just a break—it’s an invitation to slow down and reconnect with nature. The peaceful surroundings offer the perfect setting to reflect, relax, and recharge. Whether you're camping under a starlit sky or spending time in one of our cosy accommodations, the calming energy of the trees and the landscape is ever-present.


When you visit, we encourage you to take a walk through our orchard or simply sit quietly by the hedgerows. There’s something incredibly reassuring about watching a sapling grow, knowing that it will be here long after we are. It’s a gentle reminder that while the world keeps spinning, we all need moments of stillness.


Next time you feel the weight of the world, consider a visit to Bowhayes Farm, where nature’s quiet energy is always there to support you. We believe in the power of trees—not just for the landscape, but for the soul.
