Beauty, history, natural springs – Bath has it all. It was the Celts who first discovered the city’s healing springs, but it was the Romans who built the city walls and the baths themselves, helping this spa town flourish. Fast-forward to Georgian Britain and the magnificent Royal Crescent was built, cementing Bath’s reputation for world-class architecture.
So. That’s why it’s famous and why it looks so lovely. But what’s happening today? Bath is great for packing plenty into a small city, and with 3.8 million annual visitors it’s ideal for getting new ideas in front of tourists from around the world. Locals love SouthGate too, an indoor-outdoor shopping centre that gives visitors brand names plus a more scenic way to shop.
And then there’s all the great places to eat and drink: such as The Chequers, The Raven and Sub 13. Or grab a show at Theatre Royal – because there’s always a dose of culture just round the corner in Bath.
