Garway, on the England–Wales border
Black Box Sauna operates a wood-fired sauna at The Dragon's Gate, a rural venue near Garway in Herefordshire, on the England–Wales border. The sauna sits at the edge of a spring-fed freshwater lake, roughly 60m × 35m, allowing guests to move directly between the hot sauna and cold lake water. Sessions are bookable as swim-and-sauna combinations or as private sauna hire for groups, with some evening slots available under floodlighting. The site is adults-only (18+) and is operated by the venue hosts Cheryl and Billy.
