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 you 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.
Famed for its Georgian architecture, the city has more than 5,000 listed buildings. You can take a stroll along Pulteney Bridge or drive over to the Theatre Royal, which lies just behind the so-called Circus, a stunning Georgian Grade I listed building whose construction began in 1754. Not too far away is another row of the city's most famous houses, the Royal Crescent, designed by John Wood. Bath is recognised as a World Heritage Site, the award acknowledging its exceptional beauty and historical and cultural significance.
