The source of this geothermal spring which serves up the most delicious warm water is actually in the
building "The Natural Baths" opposite. It is piped across. There are two types
of spring water at the site, warm and cold, and there are about five
springs in the area. The Celtic tribe, the Corieltauvi came
here and honoured a Goddess known as Arnemetia at the site. The
Goddess's name means "She Who Dwells Over the Sacred Grove"
her name containing a variation of the Celtic word "nemeton"
meaning sacred grove.
