Spa, County Down
Encyclopedia : S : SP : SPA : Spa, County Down
Spa is a small village in County Down, Northern Ireland, close to Ballynahinch. It is situated in the Down District Council area.
The village takes its name from the sulphur and iron spa well on its south west edge. For many years the village waters have been used to ease skin complaints and rheumatism. To this end, the village opened a spa house called The Regency, complete with baths and treatment rooms. There is a lough just outside the village.
Recently the village has grown significantly with the addition of many housing estates including Carnglave Manor and Marcevin grove
