Bath - More Than a Spa Town

From all the cities I’ve seen in England, Bath has made the biggest impression on me. The architecture, the gardens and the atmosphere of the old Roman baths and the Jane Austen celebration is extraordinary.

Jane Austen lived in Bath between 1801 and 1806 and it is celebrated with Jane Austen Festival. This year, 2015, the date is set for September 11^th – 20^th, with Grand Regency Promenade on Saturday September 12^th. More info at: http://www.janeaustenfestivalbath.co.uk/ 

Brief history: Bath, in south-west England, became a spa in AD 60, when the Romans built baths and a temple in the valley of the River Avon. It became popular as a spa town during the Georgian era, leaving a heritage of Georgian architecture crafted from Bath Stone. Bath became World Heritage Site in 1987.
