About
A converted horse trailer turned wood-fired sauna at Leith Community Croft, tucked among food-growing plots and a community cafe. Capacity 6, 2 cold plunge barrels, and sessions from £12. Run by the Earth in Common charity, it has the atmosphere of something built by people who actually use it.
Good to know
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
- Set in nature, away from the city, so bring a car or plan the transfer in advance.
- Wood-fired heat: softer, heavier löyly than electric, and the smell of the stove is part of the room.
- Swimwear sauna: some or all sessions are taken in swimwear, so pack it.
