Reconnect with Nature at Kingfisher Lakes – this hidden away corner of East Yorkshire, where your family glamping break or couples mini break with hot tub allows you slow things down. In today’s fast-paced world, we often forget the profound benefits of simply stepping outside and noticing nature.
We’ve blogged before about Why we feel Peaceful near Water so check that out as here at Kingfisher Lakes you’ll have uninterrupted views of the lakes from every Safari Tent, Yurt or Lodge, or why not hire a kayak to explore even closer! Outdoor activities encourage interaction with others, fostering social bonds and community connections, which are vital for mental health, so if you’re coming to stay with family or friends or in a large group you’re doing your health a whole lot of good!
Spending time in nature also enhances sleep quality by stabilising your circadian rhythm, allowing you to wake up refreshed. Every week guests have told us that their babies, young toddlers, or adults themselves have never slept so well as they do in the glamping tents – it must be all that fresh air! Plus, it helps balance cortisol levels, your primary stress hormone, making outdoor moments essential for stress relief – and when the kids sleep well EVERYTHING is less stressful isn’t it!
Creating your own nature pause is easy. Step outside, breathe deeply, and immerse yourself in your surroundings. Feel the warmth of the sun, watch it move through the sky all day, absorb the life-giving Vitamin D we all need. Listen to the gentle rustle of the breeze through the trees, or stand barefoot on the grass or paddle in the cooling waters of the lake’s edge. Nature encourages mindfulness, helping you stay present in the moment. This practice can reduce stress and enhance your overall sense of peace, as we realise just how small our mundane problems are in the vastness of what nature deals with every day.
As dusk sets in, notice the stars appearing one by one as you light your firepit and settle down with the snap, crackle and pop of the flames – channelling our much-forgotten – but not actually that far away evolutionary-wise, caveman/woman experiences of life. We also love the underrated advantage spending time in nature helps us with, especially here in the UK where we become more aware of seasonal changes, which gives us a deeper appreciation for the environment and its cycles.
At Kingfisher Lakes, every moment outdoors is a chance to reconnect with nature and rejuvenate mind, body and spirit. Take a calming pause and rediscover the simple joys of life with a stay in a Lodge with Hot Tub or fabulously luxury Family Glamping Tent!
