Plan your visit

Where you actually go

You go to Castlewellan Forest Park, a short drive from Newcastle, and the sauna is set up inside the park. It is a separate business from the forest park, so the park's own facilities, opening hours and parking charges apply on top of whatever you book with Wild Mourne. Because the sauna is mobile, confirm it's there on the day before you drive over.

Good to know before you go:

Sessions run at weekends at Castlewellan Forest Park. Because the sauna is mobile it also appears at other spots, so check their Facebook page for where it is that week.

The story

About Wild Mourne Wellness

A handcrafted wood-burning sauna, hauled into place, with room to sit around and the plain contrast of hot then cold. The people running it are open about what it's for: rural wellness that anyone can walk into. You don't need to be fit, experienced or know a thing about sauna culture.
