Welcome to our Outdoor Detox and Wellness feature! Inside you’ll find some of our top places to visit when you’re looking to reconnect to nature or have a little well-deserved me time. Whether that looks like a nature walk in a beautiful woodland park, or a self-care day at luxury spa. However you decide to look after your wellbeing, do it your way (and the Herts way!) Let’s take a look at the first idea in mind…
Paradise Wildlife Park
We didn’t need to think twice about a certain wildlife park that makes the perfect fit for this feature. Come on, you didn’t really think we could miss out Paradise Wildlife Park! Because just a picture of their baby red panda or a video of their gorgeous snow leopards (Click the picture!) boost our serotonin a little, well a lot actually. So much so that seeing these stunning animals in the flesh will have us all smiling for weeks (maybe months). It's most definitely a place to visit when you're looking for a little outdoor wellness and we won’t even tease you with their Animal Experiences, because then you might go into cuteness overload…
