Construction work has begun on Swinton Park’s £5.5 million Country Club and Spa, near Masham in North Yorkshire. Keighley-based contractors, RN Wooler & Co Ltd, aim to complete the first phase of building by November 2015, comprising the restoration of workshops and garden buildings that will accommodate a new 40-seat conservatory restaurant. The second phase of the 2,700m2 development will realise a new, contemporary wing that will include a generous indoor swimming pool, six treatment rooms, three heat experiences, rasul, wellness pool and full fitness facilities.
The Spa will be open to Swinton Park and Swinton Bivouac guests, day visitors and club members whilst the Country Club will afford access to activities on the wider 20,000 acre Swinton Estate including cycling, walking, fishing, clay pigeon shooting, golf, falconry and riding.
Felicity Cunliffe-Lister, Proprietor of Swinton Park says, “This development is an important milestone in our long-term vision for Swinton Park and we welcome the challenge of a project of this scale, which is the culmination of a long, meticulous design and planning process.”
