To celebrate the launch of www.hillarys.co.uk new Calm Living collection, ‘Best Locations For Wellness’ was created to discover the best place in the UK for positive mental and physical health.
Taking the 45 most populated locations in the UK, the team at Hillarys were able to discover the best location for wellness by looking at a number of factors including distance from the sea, number of spas/ wellness centres, number of parks, hours of sunlight and access to healthcare.
Each factor in every location was rated in order and assigned a score from 1-45, 1 being the best and 45 the worst. The locations with the fewest points in total are therefore better for wellness whereas those with the most points are the worst.
The research revealed that the best location for wellness is Aberdeen in Scotland, with a wellness score of 46. Aberdeen has 26 spas and wellness centres, 40 parks, receives an average of 77.9 hours of sunlight a month and is just 1.6 miles from the sea.
Brighton, in the south of England, closely followed with a wellness score of 52 and Cardiff and Liverpool came in third position, both with a wellness score of 64.

Lauren Taylor, Marketing Campaign Manager at Hillarys, commented:
“As the importance of our mental and physical health has been heightened in recent years, it’s great to see places in England, Scotland and Wales all making the top three best locations for wellness. All locations in the top five are near the sea which is known to have great benefits for our wellbeing but other important factors like access to healthcare also played a large part in the results”.
