A weekend in Bath

Roman baths, Georgian crescents and Jane Austen — Britain's only UNESCO city.

Bath is the only entire city in Britain designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognised for its Roman thermal springs and Georgian Crescents. A weekend here gives you the Roman Baths complex, Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent, the Assembly Rooms, and the Pulteney Bridge — all walkable from the centre. Add a morning at the Jane Austen Centre and an afternoon at the Holburne Museum for cultural depth.
