5 Bath Bath is without doubt one of 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 Cotswolds and Mendip Hills, the city has been celebrated for centuries for its idyllic atmosphere. Through the ages writers and artists alike have gathered here for their inspiration; Charles Dickens, Jane Austen and Thomas Gainsborough have all sung the praises of the city s calm and leisurely air. Bath s natural thermal springs, rich in minerals and plentiful in supply, inspired the Romans to build magnificent temples and grand bath houses. The splendid Georgian period transformed Bath into one of the most famous cities in Europe. Architects such as Beau Nash, John Bennett and John Wood built neoclassical parades, squares and crescents from the renowned Bath stone. The Georgians brought with them their love of everything cultural which gave rise to some spectacular buildings in the city itself including the Grand Pump Room in the Abbey Church Yard with its facade of Corinthian half columns inspired by the Temple at Bassae to the Assembly Rooms, elegant public rooms at the very heart of fashionable 18th century life and now home to the Museum of Costume. Today, Bath remains a cultural hub and offers visitors the delights of a vibrant city rich in historical context coupled with its equable South West character. The Thermae Bath Spa allows visitors to enjoy Britain s only natural thermal waters as the Celts and Romans did over 2000 years ago in a stunning modern complex at the very heart of the city. The many street cafés and restaurants offer an enviable dining experience. The city also boasts a wealth of attractions and places of interest including the Roman Baths, the Royal Crescent, the Circus and the American Museum as well as established antique markets and excellent high street shopping in the new Southgate area. Numerous country houses, estates and charming towns and villages are close by including Bradford on Avon, Corsham Court, Sheldon Manor, Avebury, Stonehenge, Castle Combe, Lacock, Stourhead, Longleat, Bowood, Dyrham Park and Doddington House to name but a few. Bailbrook Lodge is the perfect base from which to explore the area.
