The Royal Crescent
is a sweeping crescent of spectacular Georgian townhouses, which were built
back in 1767-1774. The townhouses overlook a large private lawn and have a
wonderful view of the hills and the river Avon. These were
lodging houses for the gentry who visited Bath
to take the waters and participate in the social scene. Royal
Crescent has been redecorated and restored to
show what it was like in the 18th Century.
Visiting Bath
Bath is
accessible from London and other
English cities by coach or train. Bath
has a bus service, but the town suffers from the usual urban traffic snarls.
