Bath, Somerset

Bath is a city in Somerset. Bath is a grand city on the River Avon blessed with beautiful buildings from its great age in the Georgian period when it was the favoured fashionable resort. Bath is far older though: in its centre is the Roman Bath built on the gushing hot water springs which are its origin and that of its name. All significant stages of the history of Britain are represented within the city, from the Roman Baths through mediæval Bath Abbey to the Georgian Royal Crescent and Thermae Bath Spa in the 2000s. The city is within the council area of Bath and North east Somerset.
