Country estates, forest spas and wide open skies

Space is the real luxury in the East of England. Champneys Henlow sits in 150 acres of Bedfordshire parkland beside a river and weir, while the spa at Luton Hoo Hotel, Golf & Spa is set in a Grade II* listed Robert Adam courtyard that was once the mansion’s stables. Forest fans have two Aqua Sana Forest Spas to choose from, at Woburn Forest and Elveden Forest, each with 25 nature-inspired spa experiences.

Further east, The Secret Garden Spa at Congham Hall puts Norfolk on the luxury spa map, Talbooth House & Spa sits in the heart of Constable Country on the Essex and Suffolk border, and at The Spa at Bedford Lodge Hotel in Newmarket you can lie in the hydrotherapy pool under a dramatic glass roof and gaze at the sky. For something different, FFOLKESPA in West Norfolk keeps things social: heat, cool, chill, repeat.

From beaches and broads to windmills and wide skies, the East is as varied as it is vast

When you’ve got Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk to play with, it’s hard to put a foot wrong. Being off the beaten track doesn’t put visitors off discovering the beaches, broads and chocolate-box villages of East Anglia either. The area enjoys more dry days and sunshine than many other regions in the country, too – no small potatoes in blustery Blighty.

  • The windmill-flanked broads are a must-see - hire a boat and get in the thick of it

  • Suffolk’s chocolate-box villages will make you feel like you’re in an episode of Midsomer Murders

  • Cambridge’s colleges and the River Cam are made for an afternoon punt
