Why Choose Taunton for Your Next Spa Retreat
Nestled in the heart of Somerset, this historic market town blends countryside calm with just the right amount of buzz, making it a dream base for spa-goers who like a little exploration with their relaxation. Here’s why a Taunton spa day should be top of your list:
- Scenic surroundings: From the rolling Quantock Hills to the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the town is surrounded by scenery that’s (almost) as stress-busting as your Taunton spa day.
- Adventurous activities: Vivary Park isn’t just a leafy escape in the middle of town. It’s also home to a mini golf course and high ropes adventure. Perfect for groups of spa-loving besties looking for fun between their treatments.
- Culture and charm: Culture vulture? Pampering pairs perfectly with a visit to the Museum of Somerset or a show at the Brewhouse Theatre.
- Independent shopping: Bath Place and St James Street are packed with quirky boutiques, food shops and hidden gems – ideal for a little post-massage retail therapy. Time your visit with Taunton’s monthly Independent Market (every second Sunday) for stalls full of artisan treats, handmade gifts and more local charm than you can shake a bamboo body brush at.
