Bath Sightseeing

The world heritage city of Bath is famed for its Roman remains and its Georgian architecture. The city that began life as a Roman spa built around its hot springs became one of King Alfred’s defenses against the Vikings. As Bath’s hot spring grew, the need for the development resulted in the Georgian architecture you see today. John Wood the elder was the architect of vision who set the pattern for others to follow. He Planned Queen Square, the Parades and the Circus as speculative ventures. The Royal Crescent is one of the world’s best-known landmarks. Built between 1767 and 1775 and designed by John Wood the younger, the crescent contains 30 houses one of which is Number 1, which is open to the public. As the spacious streets of the Georgian upper town spread out around it, the ancient core of the city became congested. In 1789 the Bath Improvement Act gave the City Council powers to purchase, demolish and rebuild. Its target was the heart of the spa: the baths, Pump Room and their approaches, the architect was Robert Adam. The entirely rural 600-acre estate of Bathwick was next for development owned by William Pulteney. The first part of the development was Pulteney Bridge one of only four bridges lined with shops in the world, the design inspired by similar bridges in Florence and Venice.
