About Bath
The
golden city of Bath has been welcoming visitors for over 2,000
years. Designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, Bath
presents some of the finest architectural sights in Europe,
such as the Roman Baths and Pump Room, the Royal Crescent,
Pulteney Bridge and the Circus.
The surrounding
seven hills, the River Avon running through the heart of the
City and the towers of Bath Abbey combine to create a wonderful
first impression. Moreover, Bath takes a real pride in sharing
its secrets and unique heritage, which can be explored in
a variety of 40 or so museums, galleries, gardens and attractions.
Yet Bath is very much alive and offers an intriguing mix of
theatre, festivals, good restaurants, sporting excellence
and quality shopping.
Bath & North East Somerset is framed between two Areas of Outstanding
Natural Beauty, the Cotswolds and the Mendips. Whether you
enjoy walking, cycling, boating, fishing or simply searching
out that perfect country pub, you will be pleasantly surprised
by the lakes, villages and valleys of North East Somerset.
With so
much to see and so much to do, we may even tempt you to stay
a little longer and enjoy some traditional West Country hospitality.
