The Royal Crescent was designed and built during the reign of George III and is the most famous and photographed address in the spectacular World Heritage city of Bath. Thirty houses are arranged around a grand lawn with views out over a city described by UNESCO as `one of the most beautiful in Europe'. First enjoyed by the Romans, who built the elaborate baths of Aquae Sulis, the supposed healing properties of the hot water springs made Georgian Bath a fashionable spa for the rich and famous and the city owes most of its glorious architecture to this period. Today, while the Roman bathing complex is magnificently presented, the award-winning Thermae Bath allows visitors to take the waters in 21st century luxury. The compact city with the picturesque river Avon at its heart is home to an array of excellent restaurants, independent and designer shops and a thriving arts scene. The Theatre Royal built in 1805 and beautifully restored runs an eclectic programme to packed houses. The city has more than thirty art galleries with the recently refurbished Holburne Museum a stunning attraction. Top-class sport is catered for by the racecourse and Bath Rugby. Bath is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with the Cotswolds immediately to the north, the Mendips to the southwest and just across the Severn Bridge, the Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean. The coast at Weston-super-Mare or South Wales is also within easy reach.
