“What’s interesting about the rankings is how different the destinations are. Places like Cheltenham and Bath have a long history of spa culture, while Bournemouth offers a coastal escape, and the Scottish Highlands provide a completely different experience through their landscapes and outdoor activities.”It’s also interesting to look beyond the top 10. John O’Groats, for example, ranked 29th out of the 143 destinations analysed, with an average summer temperature of just 13°C. “While it might not be the first place people associate with a wellness break, its remote coastal setting reflects the growing appeal of quieter, nature-led escapes.”As we head into winter, there’s something to be said for exploring places at a quieter time of year. Whether that’s a countryside retreat, a coastal walk or simply a few days without a packed itinerary, a wellness staycation is ultimately about finding what helps you slow down and recharge.”Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
