The Victorian heart of Britain’s spa tradition. Over 80 different mineral springs in a single town made Harrogate the most diverse and scientifically celebrated spa in the country.
The birthplace of British spa culture. Here the only naturally hot geothermal water in Britain rises and has done for over 2,000 years, creating the great Roman temple and baths of Aquae Sulis.
The highest spa in Britain, where warm geothermal water rises at over 300 metres. Its grand Crescent and thermal baths made it the Peak District’s answer to continental spas.
The elegant Regency spa that became the fashionable resort of choice for the gentry. Its pure saline and chalybeate waters produced some of Britain’s finest pump-room architecture.
The pure saline springs that turned a small village into a fashionable Midland resort. Awarded “Royal” status for the exceptional quality of its waters and elegant promenades.
The 17th-century spa that first made taking the waters a society pastime. Its iron-rich chalybeate spring and the historic Pantiles colonnade remain a living link to early English spa culture.
Britain’s only natural salt springs, so concentrated they were once compared to the Dead Sea. Unique in Europe for their strength and therapeutic reputation.
The exceptionally pure springs of the Malvern Hills became the centre of the Victorian hydropathy movement. Their famously pure water, bottled and supplied to royalty, made Malvern a national destination for health and wellness.
