Contemplation Trail

A self-guided wellbeing walk through the beautiful grounds of Shugborough Estate.

Along the trail, you’ll find a series of gentle prompts inviting you to slow down, notice your surroundings and take time to reflect as you explore at your own pace.

The trail was created in partnership with the National Trust and our Family Support and Complementary Therapy teams, who also use it as part of the support we offer.

If you need support, please call our palliative care advice line on 01785 270832, available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Visit the trail

The trail is located within Shugborough Estate.

If you're attending as part of our groups or activities, we'll provide any information you need when you book with us. If you're visiting on your own, please check the National Trust website for admission information and opening times.
