But inside, things really heat up, thanks to wooden hot tubs, salt inhalation rooms and steam galore. Spa days here take you on a thermal journey – and the only map you’ll need is the one to the super-cosy Snug Room.

• Appleby Manor Country House Hotel: Craving a massage after a long day on the hills? Reward yourself with a soak in Appleby Manor’s hydrotherapy haven. Four water zones feature underwater loungers, neck fountains and massage jets that gently wallop the tension right out of you. Who needs a therapist when you can let the pool do all the pummelling?
• Bannatyne Health Club & Spa Carlisle: Proof that spa days in Carlisle aren’t just about indulgence, at Bannatyne you can hit the treatment table, then sweat it out on the treadmill!
