The top tourist attraction in Bath is the Roman baths complex in the heart of town, now open as a museum. Considered among the most important Roman remains in the world, it includes a bathing site filled daily by steaming, natural spring water, statues, plunge pools, and changing rooms, all constructed around A.D. 70. Travel forward in time to the 18th century by visiting the famous Royal Crescent (a row of 30 townhouses curved around an expansive lawn) and The Circus (three rows of houses arranged in a circle)—both represent the finest in Georgian architecture. Also see the stained glass and tour the tower of Bath Abbey, a monumental medieval church. End Bath vacations by bathing as the Romans did: A modern spa offers a rooftop pool filled with the only naturally warm, mineral-rich waters in Britain.
