The natural thermal springs were first discovered in Bath around 863BC. Since then, the mineral-rich waters have been enjoyed by the Celts, Romans, Saxons and Georgians and contributed to Bath being designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.  Thermae Bath Spa opened in 2006 following a major restoration project, where historic spa buildings combined with striking, contemporary design. As construction starts on the neighbouring, 5 star Gainsborough Hotel and Spa, the thermal waters will continue to play a pivotal role in maintaining Bath’s position as one of Britain’s premier destinations for health and well-being.  Link

The Malvern Hills extend for nine miles and offer ideal walking conditions and spectacular views stretching to the Cotswolds and the Welsh Marches. The area has inspired many great artists such as English composer Sir Edward Elgar and famed authors W.H. Auden, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Malvern is also the home of the 11th century Great Malvern Priory, the Morgan Motor Company and the source of the world renowned Malvern Spring Water.

Whether in Malvern, Upton upon Severn or Tenbury Wells there is something for everyone, from guided walks and trails to gardens, exploring history at the heritage centres and local museums, premier theatre or just relaxing in a health spa. Other attractions in the area range from historic properties such as Croome, Witley Court & Gardens and the Elgar Birthplace Museum to vineyards and spa facilities. The Elgar Trail and the Teme Valley Tour offer the visitor opportunities to take in the inspirational English countryside. A hub for events, Malvern is home to The Three Counties Showground as well as the Malvern Theatres, famous for its programme of top touring drama and musicals.
