INFORMATION
ABOUT WOODHALL SPA

The Spa at Woodhall

Woodhall Spa is a wooded oasis encompassing a fine Edwardian Broadway. The story of the Spa began in the early 19th century, with an unused industrial mineshaft found to be full of water that had overflowed into the ditches of Coalpit Wood. This new discovery inspired incredible investment in Woodhall Spa and it became a fashionable inland spa resort.

Woods and Jubilee Park

The woods are a striking feature of the village, the colours of the flora change throughout the seasons. Near to the woods is Jubilee Park, a family favourite, with tennis courts, bowling greens, children's play park and outdoor swimming pool.

English Golfing Union HQ

Woodhall Spa has always been a popular venue for golfers, but since the establishment of the English Golfing Union's headquarters, the sport has blossomed.

Kinema in the Woods

The Kinema in the Woods and Kinema Too is an unusual rear-projection system cinema with an operational theatre organ. It was christened 'The Flicks in the Sticks' by the forces stationed in the area during World War II.

617 Squadron - The Dambusters

The 617 Squadron, the 'Dambusters' played an important role in World War II and their Officers' Mess was based at Petwood House, now a hotel. The 'Dambusters' Memorial stands in Royal Square. Visit the Cottage Museum and you can discover more about the village, its Spa history and its involvement in World War II.
