Spas in Bath and the South West

The West Country takes its waters seriously, and it has done since the Romans piped the only hot springs in Britain into their baths below Bath. This is a region where a spa day stretches naturally into the landscape around it, from walled gardens in Somerset to cliffs above the Atlantic, and the spas here differ most in how far they let that landscape in, some folding whole estates, orchards and lakes into the day, others turning everything inward to candlelit stone. Come for thermal water in Bath, sea air in Cornwall, and some of the quietest luxury in England in between.
