About
Northumbrian Sauna is a dedicated wood-fired sauna on the banks of Higham Lakes near Newcastle. The venue offers an authentic outdoor sauna experience in a natural lakeside setting, with both drop-in and bookable sessions available.
Good to know
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
- Direct lake access: most visitors plunge straight into the water between sauna rounds.
- Wood-fired heat: softer, heavier löyly than electric, and the smell of the stove is part of the room.
- Set in nature, away from the city, so bring a car or plan the transfer in advance.
