About Diana

…If you’re looking for something interesting to do that’s outside of the ordinary or if you have any kind of interest in nature, sustainability, or IDY’s, join this walk! Di who leads it is super duber knowledgeable about plants and their uses and conveys her information in wonderful storytelling mode. If you’re worried about the walking part, the road you’ll be on is flat and accessible and the walking is not constant, more of a stop, listen, and go; you don’t even cover a mile total. This ending up being my favorite activity in York, highly recommended…

…An excellent trip and so good to find out what you eat and how to use plants that are found in most places. Will definitely give foraging a go and see what i can find near my home.…

…Diana’s knowledge was amazing and her great story telling made the whole experience so interesting and informative.…

…We had a fabulous weekend here with friends celebrating our birthdays. Late October and plenty of rain, but the bad weather didn’t dampen our time - Di provided us with plenty of wood to keep the fire going, and the huts are kept toasty thanks to the wood burners.
We didn’t feel that the walk to the fridge/toilet was an issue, it’s about 20 seconds.

The activities were really fun and Di is a great host - very welcoming and informative. Would 100% recommend…

…A wonderful site, so cute and we loved our family getaway.
Downsides- the fridge and toilet are not within the campsite. Whilst not far away, you have to go round by the main house to get your milk or visit the loo which wasn’t ideal. Only one of the tipis has off the floor beds, I was under the impression they all had beds. We had to sleep on those fold out cushions which are small and not very comfortable.
The road nearby can get surprisingly noisy.
Not enough pans for cooking.

Positives- Di is wonderful, a lovely lady who cares and I couldn’t fault her at all. She made our trip even better!
The sheep, dog and chickens who come to visit are adorable!
The fires in the tipis really warm you up and they hold the heat.
The site itself is lovely.
The activities were really informative and enjoyable. We did fire starting and foraging and both were great. A big up to Paul Dore!
Stoves are in two tipis and the dining room area, as well as an open fire around the social area.…
