Bath is considered to be one of the most culturally rich and attractive cities in all of the UK. From the elegant architecture of Bath Spa University and the mineralised warm waters of the Thermae Bath Spa to the 18th-century Bath Assembly Rooms, this is a city where one can truly relax and bask in the beauty of the surroundings. As its name suggests, Bath is famous for its ancient bathing complexes. The Roman Spa dates back to the 5th century and the ruins are well preserved and a spectacular sight indeed.
The nearest airport is Bristol (BRS), about 20 miles from the city and when visiting Bath car hire is a good option for those who want to fully explore the local area.
Famed for its Georgian architecture, the city has more than 5000 listed buildings. You can take a stroll along Pulteney Bridge or drive over to the Theatre Royal, which lies just behind the famous 'Circus', a stunning Georgian Grade 1 listed building whose construction began in 1754. Not too far away is another row of the city's most famous houses, known as the Royal Crescent, designed by John Wood. Bath is recognised as a World Heritage Site and the award acknowledges the fact that its beauty, history and culture are of an exceptionally high standard.
The beauty of car hire in Bath is that it provides visitors with the opportunity to explore not only the city itself, but also the surrounding areas of north-east Somerset, such as the thriving city of Bristol. Other towns which are certainly worth a visit include Midsomer Norton. History lovers will revel in the delights of the museum in Radstock, which celebrates the fascinating lives of those who loved through the industrial era.
