The City of Bath

Architects designed and built the many fine Georgian buildings that survive today. With an interesting selection of museums, galleries, musical events, restaurants and gracious parks, visitors to Bath can choose from all the very best of past and present.

By 4AD Bath had been abandoned, remaining so for several hundred years. Rejuvenation began with the wool trade in the fifteenth century and by the eighteenth century, Bath was at the height of fashion.

The City of Bath is situated beside the river Avon in the south-west of England. It was founded by the Romans in 1AD, who chose to settle beside the only hot springs in the country. For a few centuries they stayed and built extensive lead-lined baths which are open to visitors today. No visit to Bath is complete without tasting the Spa water. It bubbles up to a fountain in the Pump Room and a glassful of the famous healing water - served when still warm - will cost you very little. Be warned, though, it does taste more than a little peculiar.

Stonehenge

This prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain dates from 3100 BC. It is considered to be the most important prehistoric structure in Europe. Although its purpose remains a mystery it is likely to have been a meeting place or a religious centre connected with astronomical observations. Today the stones have been surrounded by a protective fence. Visitors can look and listen to a recorded history of the stones but are no longer allowed to touch them.

Castle Combe Race Circuit

Castle Combe Circuit opened just 18 months after Silverstone in the 
summer of 1950, making it one of the longest established circuits in the UK. Until 1999, the circuit followed its original layout, around the perimeter of the old air base. We hope you enjoy your visit to the site and look forward to seeing you at the circuit soon!
