A St Albans spa break is an opportunity to have all the best elements of a getaway in one place. Close to London by train or car, but with easy access to rural bliss, it’s a picturesque market town with lots of history and within easy reach of lots of attractions as well.
First to give you a little background, St Albans in Hertfordshire is brimming with historic intrigue. It’s been on the map as far back as the Celts (that’s 20BC), before becoming the Roman settlement of Verulamium - parts of which remain today. Its medieval abbey is a magnificent sight to behold, and its streets - characterised by ancient Tudor architecture - have been the site of battles that changed the course of British history.
With that introduction, a spa day in St Albans brings the opportunity to explore the history further at the Verulamium Museum, or you may prefer a stroll around the park with its ornamental lake followed by a nose around the shops and cafes. There’s lots of places for families to visit, but for groups of friends it’s also a lovely place to combine a massage in St Albans before an evening out.
Romantic trips to this part of Hertfordshire are also popular. Luxury spa destinations such as the Elysium Collection’s Cottonmill Spa at Sopwell House are a real treat - combining country house style with a purpose-built, contemporary spa experience. If you travel a little further afield, you will also find Luton Hoo Hotel, Golf and Spa - a magnificent country house hotel that feels as though it’s far away from anywhere and delivers five-star decadence from the spa to the restaurant.
