Collection: Spas in the North of England

The North of England spreads spa life across proper landscape, the limestone dales and stone villages of Yorkshire, the fells and glinting water of the Lake District, the heather moors running out toward the coast. A spa day here tends to sit inside that scale rather than apart from it, a pool built under real archways in a Georgian hall, a sauna garden looking out over open fells, water drawn from the same hills that fill the view. The spas range from grand country estates running a serious performance wing alongside the treatment rooms to smaller lakeside and moorland retreats built around one striking pool or sauna, and the walking, the water and the weather outside are as much a part of the day as anything indoors.
