Offering water heated by nature alone, spas and springs offer a perfect relaxing retreat. The Matlock Spa in Bath, Derbyshire offers a beautiful 18th century indoor swimming pool at The New Bath Hotel which is filled by glorious thermal waters. There is also a delightful outdoor swimming pool also fed by the spring.
The city of Bath regained its crown as Britain’s number one hot spring destination in 2006 when it opened a £45 million public spa designed by Nicholas Grimshaw. Thermae Bath Spa offers a steaming open air rooftop pool which enjoys stunning views of the beautiful city. Both of these spas have made the top 20 great hot springs list in the Guardian, featuring alongside spas in beautiful countries such as Austria, Greece and Hungary.
