Bath
This magnificent Georgian period (1714 – 1830) yellow sandstone, elegant spa city is an ideal location for a day trip or weekend break from London. Some tourists ask why this city is named after an appliance in which you immerse yourself in water to have a wash? Just under 2000 years ago the hot spring water was used to create a natural hot bath, by the Romans who believed it had healing qualities.
