Situated in the picturesque cider orchard the Yurt overlooks the pond area and across the valley, stretching down to the river Wye. 

There is a large decking area, complete with seating. A separate kitchen with basic camping stove for boiling your kettle or cooking up your breakfast. Adjacent to the decking is a fire pit equipped with Kotlich cooking facilities (tripod and cooking pot) to fit and cook over an open fire.

You are welcome to bring a BBQ and charcoal if you do not wish to try cooking on the fire pit. 

There is a fridge nearby to store your groceries in and a lovely sink and washing up area in the Yurt kitchen. There is also a stand pipe for fresh water next to the Yurt. Tea towels and complimenary cleaning items are supplied.

Enjoy showering under the stars with your own private enclosed rustic outdoor shower adjacent to the kicthen, and a compost loo just above the fire pit. Making the Yurt area completely self contained.

There is free wi-fi access around the farm yard but not in the Yurt.

The farm has patchy mobile phone coverage and it varies by network provider. So why not leave your phone in the car and get away from it all!

"This was our first glamping experience and it was absolutely fantastic! We really enjoyed the tranquil environment, cooking on the stove and relaxing by the log burner! It was the perfect place to get engaged. Thank you for a lovely time"

"Such a beautiful location, so peaceful by the pond. We were really happy when three frogs came and joined us by the fire one evening"

      

 

 

  • Deep Magic: Cultivating Connection

    17-19th April at Ragmans Lane Farm

    Join us for this magical adventure, exploring the connection between Nature and ourselves.

    Our Deep Magic retreat will give you the opportunity to engage with a remarkable landscape in which humans and other species live and work together. Through group practices and solitary exploration, we will discover how we can bring together spirituality and practicality. Using a range of artistic, ceremonial and meditative processes we will re-engage with our humanity as a harmonious part of Nature. The key themes for this retreat will be regeneration and relationship; bring your curiosity, your open mind, and a willingness to participate.

    Ragmans Lane Farm is nestled in the Wye Valley on the edge of the Forest of Dean in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. An hour from Bristol, Birmingham and Cardiff, the 60 acre site is one of Britain’s most well established permaculture and organic farms. Ragmans has hosted numerous courses over many decades with teachers including Starhawk and Bill Mollison.

    Accessible to novices, and beneficial for experienced practitioners, these days of practical deep magic will give you plenty of opportunity for personal transformation, learning and fun.

    We will be staying in a superbly converted 400 year old barn, with three dormitory style areas (6 beds, 2 beds and 3 beds, 4 beds). The barn also has a comfortable sitting room, and a large dining room/kitchen, both perfect for socialising. The retreat includes full-board accommodation with delicious home cooked vegan food, much of it grown locally, some at Ragmans Lane itself!

    We will be using a separate meeting hall for indoor ceremony and practices, as well as several beautiful outdoor spaces.

    Cost £300.
    Early Bird (before 14th February) £250.
