The History of Spatone®

Naturally Sourced from the Welsh Mountains.

2,000 Years Of History

Water running over rock

Roman discovered liquid iron

Spatone® Liquid Iron is iron-rich water from Trefriw Wells Spa, in the beautiful Snowdonia National Park, North Wales. For 200 years, millions around the world have used this naturally sourced iron-rich water but that’s not where the story begins. It all started with its discovery by sulfur mining Roman legions around 100-250 AD.

Extensively used by locals

In the early 1700s, the spa was extensively used by locals who opted to bathe in the iron infused spa water rather than drink it. By 1833 demand was so high that it was officially turned into a bathhouse.

In 1873 the Victorian pump room and bathhouse was built, and the naturally sourced water was bottled and sold commercially for the first time as Spatone Iron+.
