Bath

The city of Bath is described as one of the most magnificent places to visit in England and the beautiful countryside surrounding it. The town of Bath is a fabulous city to visit in the South West of England. The bath was founded in the Middle Ages by the Romans as a thermal spa and became an important wool industry centre. It became an elegant city with neoclassical buildings in the Palladian period in the 18th century under George III and harmoniously blended with Roman Baths. Bath is the real turning point–it just can lift your spirits by walking along its World Heritage streets. Georgian architecture is photogenic and warm, sunny, with sweeping crescents and terraced Circus turning your head. The most significant attraction, the Roman Baths, cleverly exploit the ancient foundations of the city, while the words of Jane Austen, a former resident, shed new life on history. Bath is also a great student-friendly city; it is a safe and not too large city to get around easily.

The town has a large population of international students, with two universities, and something always happens for young people. A semi-circular terrace with 30 houses overlooking Royal Victoria Park, the Royal Crescent is the crowning glory of Georgian Bath. The Grade II listed terrace is the most important Georgian street in Britain and was designed by John Wood the Younger between 1767 and 1774. No two houses have the same inside, notwithstanding the symmetry of Palladian columns and porticos. Built for relaxation and pleasure, since Roman times the lovely Bath was a wellness destination. Both in the ancient Roman Baths and in the modern Thermae Bath Spa are the waters still a major attraction, home to the only natural thermal springs in England that can be washed in.
