Q & A: Yawning gap in health farm information
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I would like a few days in the summer either at a health farm or a hotel with a good leisure and beauty club. Is there a directory of such places please?

The Travel Editor replies: There is a directory - which is basically a brochure - issued by a body called the Federation of Britain's Leading Health Farms, which will include all the major spa centres in the country. You can get a free copy (tel: 0990 667722) and leave your name and address on the voice-mail, assuming the system is working better than when I tried calling the number. Unfortunately, there is not to my knowledge any independent guidebook to the relative merits of the different spas and health farms. Even Holiday? Which has not covered the subject in recent years.
