The Historic City of Bath

1 Ittasks no wonder the historic City of Bath in southwest England is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Britain. Established by the Romans almost 2,000 years ago, it’s a beautiful, wonderful place to visit that is just bursting with history.

2 This city is most famous for its incredible marble baths. They were built by the ancient Romans in 49 AD around the only natural hot spring in Britain, where warm water still flows. You can see the steam rising from the water, admire the magnificent, huge temple and feel the ancient stone pavements under your feet, just like the Romans did. As well as this, ittasks very pleasant to wander around the city and admire the interesting 18th century architecture, including many terraces and squares, and the famous Royal Crescent.

3 There are many reasons why Bath is a fascinating tourist destination. As well as visiting the baths, visitors can take a guided bus tour of the city, or visit some of the many trendy shops, restaurants, theatres and museums. On a warm day, they can even take a peaceful walk along the banks of the River Avon to soak up the sun. Finally, Bath is in an ideal location from which to visit nearby Stonehenge.

4 All in all, Bath is a lively, modern city, but ittasks also a UNESCO World Heritage site full of history and tradition. This is a place everyone will look forward to going back to again and again.
