Quest for Healing Water
Escape into the hills with us on a Quest to discover the healing water of Hartfell, in the Moffat Hills.
This is an invitation to take some time out from our busy lives, switch off your mobile phone and laptop and immerse ourselves instead in the landscape of a very special place.
We will reveal the secrets of Hartfell with a day for stories and discussions – stories that animate the landscape.
As we walk to Hartfell Spa, famous for its water with healing and prophetic qualities, we’ll pay close attention to the local, listening in to its rich history and lore, but we’ll also widen the conversation to include other, more elemental stories, exploring the nature of ‘the quest’ and what it might mean for us all.
If you’re interested in uncovering the secrets of this special place and with wild nature, if you’re curious about certain myths, then join us for what promises to be a wonderful day in the hills.
Create your own bespoke quest.
