— Rich history
The History of Bath and Roman Baths
With a rich and complex history spanning thousands of years, Bath is a fascinating and vibrant place to visit. The city was founded in the 1st century AD by Romans who were drawn to Bath’s natural hot springs. Bath has become known for many things over the years, from its part in the wool industry in the Middle Ages to its contributions to literature and art, especially during the Georgian and Victorian periods, but its Roman Baths are without a doubt its pièce de résistance.
Built around 70 AD during the early Roman Empire, the Roman Baths stand today as a well-preserved and immense site of extensive Roman ruins. The Roman Baths was built on top of the natural hot springs, which were believed to have therapeutic and healing properties; the site was used by the Romans as a thermal spa. Incredibly, the Roman Baths’ original pipes are still intact today. 1,170,000 litres of steaming spring water still fills the bathing site every single day, with temperatures reaching up to 46°C.

What To See and Do at Bath and Roman Baths
Roman Baths
The Roman Baths are often the highlight of tourists’ first visit to Bath. As well as the Roman Baths themselves, which stand today as a well-preserved and immense site of extensive Roman ruins, the site also features an interactive museum which transports its visitors back to Roman times. Containing 2,000 years’ worth of history, the museum is home to thousands of archaeological finds from pre-Roman and Roman Britain.
Bath Abbey
The picturesque Bath Abbey dominates the Bath skyline with its dramatic mix of Roman and Gothic architecture. It has been a place of worship since 675 AD. Intriguingly, the architecture of the West Front of Bath Abbey was inspired by a dream of Bishop Oliver King’s of angels, an olive tree, and a crown. The Abbey offers a moment of stillness in the heart of a city known for its vibrance and life.
Parade Gardens
Situated along the River Avon, Parade Gardens is a delightful two-and-a-half acre grade II listed park in central Bath, home to some of the finest traditional carpet and sculptural bedding displays in England. The Parade Gardens are a vibrant, scenic spot with an excellent view of the Pulteney Bridge and the weir. Their awe and beauty are not to be missed, especially being conveniently located near to the Roman Baths and Bath Abbey.
Royal Crescent
Bath is abundant with stunning Georgian architecture, adorned with grand facades and detailed embellishments. Above all other architecture in Bath, the city’s famous crescents are not to be missed. The Royal Crescent is one of the finest examples of Georgian architecture in all of England. Made up of thirty individual houses, this stunning crescent-shaped row of terraced properties was expertly designed and built in the late 1700s.
