Bath is designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO for its architectural masterpieces. The Royal Crescent, the Circus, the Assembly Rooms and Pulteney Bridge are some of the best known buildings, dating from its heyday as a Georgian spa resort. Bath has been a spa town since Roman times when the Roman Baths and Temple were built around natural hot springs - the only ones in the country! And you can still 'take the waters' today in the elegant Pump Room.

Bath has lots of museums and art galleries including the Holborne Museum, a Museum of Costume and the Royal Photographic Society. There's plenty of evening entertainment with theatres, clubs, gourmet restaurants and pubs.
