Georgian Guest House, Bath

Advantages: Wonderful architecture. History.Culture.Good Eateries
Disadvantages: Can get busy. Pricey

...and for the elderly or the infirm it is not the easiest of cities to get about.Quite surprisingly for such an elegant place there also seem to be quite a number of homeless people in the streets. There is the fine American Museum to visit at Claverton Manor, a gorgeous theatre,art galleries, and verdant botanical garden at Victoria Park. The Bath Festival which takes place every year attracts a lot of visitors.On the outskirts of the city is the highly rated University of Bath which has attracted much acclaim both for its scholastic achievements and its fine architecture.

ROYAL CRESCENT This has to be one of the most famous sights of Bath. In the upper part of town with great views, it was built by John Wood the Younger in the 1760s and with its sweep of columns it is as impressive in the flesh as its pictures suggest.
