Champneys Tring Health Resort, Wigginton

This isn't just a place, it's a vision. A vision of beauty, without a doubt - a romantic stately home in Hertfordshire, once owned by the Rothschild family, set in 170 acres of rolling parkland.

It's also the vision of one man, Stanley Leif, who over 85 years ago pioneered the concept of holistic wellbeing, creating a place where people could escape the world's cares and re-emerge, fitness and wellbeing are at your command, backed up by cutting-edge science and sports medicine, and of course, lashing and lashings of spa pampering.

Champneys offer you over 100 different types of treatments, from the traditional to the exotic, like Reiki and Indian Head Massage.

Whether you're expecting luxury pampering, detox, relaxation, activity, spiritual escape, extreme sport, indulgence or boot camp, you can pursue your own vision of magnificent health.
