In Cumbria’s Eden Valley, Penrith is a thriving and ancient market town, filled with history, shops and lots of attractions, making for a fulfilling spa day or break
The enormous 14th-century Penrith Castle is very much an icon in the area, which has made its name across the centuries for its historic sites and surrounding natural beauty. It’s well known for its location by the Nepean River, famous for the Head of the River boat races, there’s the Norman Brougham Castle and the prehistoric monument of Mayburgh Henge and Beacon Hill, with its Penrith Beacon monument and panoramic views
Just outside the Lake District National Park, Penrith is not far from Ullswater, where you can take part in water sports such as kayaking, canoeing, wild swimming and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). You can also explore the park on foot with plenty of hiking opportunities. Other attractions include the Dalemain Mansion and Historic Gardens and Whinfell Forest.
Those on a spa break in the area will love surrounding hotels such as Appleby Manor Hotel & Garden Spa, known for its rustic charm and beautiful location. Romantic weekends are a particular joy at the award-winning North Lakes Hotel and Spa. Meanwhile, further afield but ideal for longer, luxury spa breaks is the exquisite Rockliffe Hall, a five-star hotel with an adult-only spa and extensive grounds including its own premier golf course.
