The Hot Springs of Bath

Couples who prefer lots of pampering would love a weekend getaway in Bath, the most charming of the UK's many smaller towns. In fact, the city has been offering travelers a place to soak their tired legs for 2,000 years, since the first Britons realized the therapeutic benefits of the hot springs.

Romantic Bath offers a wide variety of enjoyable sights and activities in addition to its ancient springs. A must-see is the incredibly beautiful Royal Crescent, a region with exceptional Georgian architecture that helped win the city its UNESCO World Heritage status. The best part of this place is stopping by No. 1 Royal Crescent. This exquisite house, which has been turned into a museum, has been preserved exactly as it would have been in the 18th century when England's upper classes visited Bath to avoid the bustle and pollution of London.
