Healing Health Joy Collective is a sister cooperative to Riversdale Lodge.
“We are a collective of teachers and practitioners that has grown organically to bring together a local community in search of Healing, Health and Joy. What started as a few yoga classes has grown to encompass support groups, pop-up dinners, dancing, singing, talks and retreats and a growing community of those who want more joy in their lives!”

Woolman’s Wood is a private wood, but you are allowed to walk around it. It has many paths but as it is fenced off you cannot go to far wrong!
Hedsor church is an amazing place to look over the valley - as you walk out of Riversdale you’ll see it on the hill. The church is known to date from the end of the 12th century.
