We stayed one night in Bath at the Abbey Hotel (top photo) which, as one might suspect, was located very close to the Abbey and the Roman Baths (entrance to the Roman Baths is on the right in front of the Abbey in the 2nd photo). The city is founded around the only naturally occurring hot springs in the UK. It was first documented as a Roman Spa, although tradition suggests that it was founded earlier. The waters from its spring were believed to be a cure for many afflictions. From Elizabethan to Georgian times it was a resort city for the wealthy. The city contains many fine examples of Georgian architecture, most notably the Royal Crescent.
