"Health-resorts" or "Spa Town" Explanation: A health resort or a spa town is a town frequented, in times past, for health reasons, to "take the waters". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2007-01-12 13:54:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Examples: 1. "TRING is an outstanding health resort in the very heart of Hertfordshire, dedicated to the well-being of your mind, your body, your soul. And who wouldn't flourish here? Set in 170 acres of rolling parkland, a spa day at Tring will still your thoughts in a busy world. Little wonder it tops the A-list hot-list for rest and relaxation". 2. "Spa Towns continue to attract visitors from all over the world, drawn by beautiful buildings, parks, gardens, theatre, festivals, museums and the availability of a wide range of complementary therapies". This is my suggestion. |
