Our Story

New Leaf is a 14-acre woodland in Cheshire where people can slow down, reconnect with nature and enjoy time together.

Why we created New Leaf

When we found New Leaf we fell in love with the beautiful, calm and spiritual feel of the woodland. We knew we had to share this incredible woodland. There is something so special about spending time in the heart of nature and wildlife. Science has proven that the forest can improve and heal our minds, bodies and souls.

It’s so important for us to be able to take time out from this hectic world and just “be”. We also have a responsibility to educate our children and help them learn whislt having fun in a healthy environment. After all, we are just custodians of this earth and it’s our job to nurture, protect and care for our environment for the generations to come.

New Leaf is a welcoming place to pause, breathe deeply and spend meaningful time outdoors.

Time well spent outdoors

Join us for gentle wellbeing sessions, nature and bushcraft lessons, mindful woodland walks, family activities, outdoor learning and Woodland Wild Camping. We welcome individuals, families, schools, community groups and businesses.

Inspired by nature

Nature is at the heart of New Leaf. It also inspires our handmade creations, which you can explore in the shop. Everthing we sell goes towards helping fund the ongoing maintenance and care of the woodland and wildlife.
