Description of shelter site and surrounding area

 

  • It’s so quiet here that the sound of your own breathing can almost scare you
  • It’s so lovely here that it’ll bring tears to your eyes.
  • You’ll be impressed by the sheer number of wild flowers, bushes, mushrooms, and trees
  • The amount of wildlife , animals, birds, bats, amphibians, and insects – is so huge that you’ll never see them all
  • Orchids bloom in May – looking and admiring is fine, but not touching or picking them
  • The sound of the Natterjack Toads’ mating calls in spring can be almost intoxicating
  • There’s a view over Helnæs Bay
  • Helnæs Bay is 300 m from the site
  • The wood is 25 m from the site
  • There are enough hiking trails and walks for an entire life
  • You can catch common prawns
  • You can catch crabs and small fish
  • You can catch sea trout and European Flounders
  • You can catch mussels to make delicious moules marinières
  • Want to say hello to cows, calves, horses, lambs, sheep, and chickens? All are close by.
  • You can pick and eat all the raspberries, blackberries, hazel nuts, damsons, apples, and pears you want – when they’re in season
  • Go into the wood and find your own personal fire stick (those on the forest floor)
  • Or you can just light a fire, sit down, enjoy the view and let time slip by
