One of the most historic places in the country. Romans availed themselves of the hot springs, and throughout the 2000 odd years since Bath has always been a place of suppposed elegance.
The best example of Georgian architecture found anywhere in the UK (In my opinion) can be found here. The Royal Crescent is a perfect semi circle of grand terraced mansions, with a huge example, sideways on, at each end. I always aspired to owning one, but alas they are way out of my limited means now. I did attend the concert staged by the Three Tenors on the lawns in 2003, a most amazing experience.
If you ever are in the UK, take a trip to Bath, it is worth your while.
Unfortunately, the local council, another bunch of mumbling mediocre morons, are creating havoc down by the river, fortunately the Circle and the Crescent are immune to it all up on the hill.
I live in the UK and, twentyish years ago, briefly lived in Bath.
In February this year I visited Bath as a tourist and did all those things I never got around to as a resident ... To the things mentioned by Fruitcake I'd add the free walking tours that start every day of the year outside the abbey, the Roman baths museum and the modern Baths which, whilst expensive, can be justified when on holiday.
I'll be going back ... it is fabulous.
