Overview

Bath, which was aptly named by the Romans for its unique natural baths, is a popular spa resort in West England. Its famous hot springs have attracted kings and queens, the most notably of which was Elizabeth I. Tucked away on the banks of the River Avon, Bath has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and remains one of England's biggest tourist draws. The compact city is also known for its terrific shopping and distinctive Georgian architecture, with most of the buildings built from local Bath stone. The city boasts many fine attractions. The Royal Crescent Bath Museum is a must, as is the Royal Costume Museum and the old Abbey located in the city's center. Nearby excursions include the picturesque countryside of the Cotswolds and Claverton, as well as the charming town of Frome.
