BATH --You will find yourself at the right hand side of this photo – just take in the grand expanse of this iconic sweep of Georgian architecture.

You are standing outside No 1 the Crescent- one of the most luxurious houses designed to meet the needs of the Georgian aristocrats who came to “take “the waters”. It is now a museum – so you can see how your ancestors lived in luxury (or, in our case, how our ancestors they served their employers!!)

If you want to get the fullest view of The Royal Crescent, retrace your steps and take a path to your right and walk down until you reach the road that cuts across Victoria Park.

“Vicky Park” was once the pastoral garden for The Royal Crescent – it is now a public open space. Walk until you can see the full panorama – just taking it all in will take some time.

The interior No. 1 at the Royal Crescent

Many of the houses in The Crescent have been turned into flats – but what flats, with such a fantastic view!! You can even stay in The Crescent as The Royal Crescent Hotel can be found at No 16 – prices range from £250 (Classic) to £850 (Master Suite) per night.

Finally – walk towards The Crescent and you will come to a dip in the lawn facing a wall. This is a “haha” – a simple device to keep animals off the well-kept grass in front of The Royal Crescent (this is still private property) – yet, if you looked out from The Crescent you would just see a pastoral scene.


Bath has so much to offer – and the surrounding area is full of “delights”  - the countryside, the buildings – and the people!!
