Tours to Bath
First of all, the city of Bath is described as one of the most magnificent places to visit in the South West of England. The town of Bath is also a fabulous city, especially with the beautiful countryside surrounding it.
Bath was founded in the Middle Ages by the Romans as a thermal spa and became an important wool industry centre. In addition, it became an elegant city with neoclassical buildings in the Palladian period in the 18th century under George III and harmoniously blended with Roman Baths.
Therefore, Bath is the real turning point–it just can lift your spirits by walking along its World Heritage streets. Georgian architecture is not only photogenic and warm, but also sunny, with sweeping crescents and terraced Circus turning your head. The most significant attraction, the Roman Baths, cleverly exploits the ancient foundations of the city, while the words of Jane Austen, a former resident, shed new life on history.
Bath is also a great student-friendly city; it is a rather safe and not a too large city to get around easily. Furthermore, Bath is probably the most beautiful and vibrant city of England, famous for its honey-coloured Georgian crescents as well as paved streets, outdoor coffee bars and lively bars. So, it’s the perfect place for learning and being inspired. There are so many things to see and do, from museums, galleries and theatres to bars, restaurants and clubs.

No two houses are the same inside with the symmetry of Palladian columns and porticos.

Highligts of Bath
Visit Guildhall Market and worldwide famous Poultney Bridge with its elegant horseshoe-shaped wear. Enjoy a couple of minutes the splendid views over the bridge and weir; the river extends to your right, the hills far away. Sham Castle on the hill (a crazy facade), and Prior Park, once home to Bath entrepreneur Ralph Allen, will be seen from this spot. And, It is time to admire the front of the original Georgian building, bolted by the Victorians. That’s Theatre Royal we are talking about.
The Circus is the masterpiece that you enjoy the frieze of 528 sculpted symbols, each different, running around the curved terraces. Count the bellies at the top of the parapets and see if 108 are still available. Maybe, this is the entire masterpiece of John Wood which was designed and completed in 1754 by his son.

Things to do in Bath
Bath has not changed a great deal in many ways since the times of Georgian gentleman Ralph Allen and writer Jane Austen.
Another feature of Bath is that it provides the ideal basis for exploring local sites such as Lacock and the mysterious megaliths of the photogenic village of Stonehenge. Nevertheless, Bath remains a wellness centre, with a modern, multi-level thermal spa which enjoys rich mineral waters through its underground vein.
