Bath
Bath is one of England's most beautiful and celebrated cities, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of Georgian architecture, Roman heritage and a refined cultural scene. From the Roman Baths and the Royal Crescent to the Thermae Bath Spa and the surrounding hills of the Cotswolds, Bath offers a quintessentially English experience of extraordinary quality.
Elect's take
"Bath is one of the most beautifully composed cities I have visited anywhere in England. The combination of Georgian architecture, Roman history, outstanding restaurants and the surrounding countryside creates something genuinely special."
The Roman Baths are one of the finest Roman sites in northern Europe and provide a fascinating insight into the significance of Bath's thermal waters over two millennia of history. The Georgian architecture of the Royal Crescent and the Circus represents some of the finest urban planning in British history. The Thermae Bath Spa allows visitors to bathe in the same thermal waters that made Bath famous, with an extraordinary rooftop pool overlooking the city. Bath's independent food scene is outstanding and the weekly Farmer's Market is one of the best in England. The surrounding countryside provides excellent walking into the Cotswolds and access to the Kennet and Avon Canal.
