Bath is without doubt one Britain's, if not Europe's most beautiful and historically intriguing cities. Ideally situated in the lush Avon valley in the rich rolling downs between the Cotswold and Mendip Hills, the City has been celebrated for centuries for its idyllic atmosphere. Through the ages writers and artists have come here for inspiration: Charles Dickens, Jane Austen and Thomas Gainsborough have all sung the praises of the City's calm and leisurely air.
Bath Springs provide a quarter of a million gallons of rich mineral water a day at a constant temperature of 46.5 degrees C. These natural Springs insired the Romans to build their magnificent temple and baths. The Thermal Spa has now reopened,having been closed for many years, following a £20 million plus redecorarion and redelopment.

Architects much as Beau Nash, John Bennett an John Wood built neo-classical parades, squares and crescents from the now renowned Bath stone.
The Georgians brought with them their love of art and musice and so the Pump Room and Assembly Rooms were built to cater for their high social gatherings.
