 City-centre health and beauty centre |
York Barbican Centre Barbican Road York YO10 4NT United Kingdom +44 1904 63 9513 |
In our stress-filled modern world, techniques such as aromatherapy and massage are often employed to ease away our troubles, and this health and beauty centre in the middle of York can certainly offer that. An impressive selection of beauty and relaxation treatments are available here, such as reflexology, facial cleansing and Indian head massage. Some may be doubtful of the benefits, but there is certainly enough here to choose from should any sceptics be willing to take the plunge. And if you're feeling brave enough, then waxing is available for both men and women. Prices are around £15 for most sessions. Review © 2007, Wcities |

One of the larger swimming pools |
Thanet Road Acomb York YO24 3DX United Kingdom +44 1904 79 3031 |
Located between Acomb and Dringhouses, this swimming pool may not be the most glamorous of places, but nonetheless, it is one of the larger swimming baths in York. There are two pools, a large main pool and a smaller toddlers' pool. However, there is a noticeable absence of special features, like water slides and wave machines. On the positive side, there is a mixture of young and old swimmers here, which at least makes it a comfortable place to swim, should you have any reservations about being intimidated by an Adonis or two.

A modern, lively swimming baths |
Kathryn Avenue Monk's Cross York YO32 9XX United Kingdom +44 1904 64 2111 http://www.courtneys.co.uk |
Found on the outskirts of York, this is a modern swimming place, with an emphasis on fun. Although there is a small pool for anyone wanting to swim, and only swim, the larger pool will be of interest to most. There is a wave machine and a lazy river, though the currents aren't too strong. The slides are a particular favourite and for those with small children, there is a toddlers' area. Such fun can be had here. Review © 2007, Wcities |
