| Bath is a city in
South West England most famous for its baths fed by three hot springs.
It is situated 99 miles (159 km) west of Central London and 13 miles (21
km) south east of Bristol. The city is founded around the only naturally
occurring hot springs in the United Kingdom. It was first documented as
a Roman spa, although tradition suggests that it was founded earlier. The
waters from its spring were believed to be a cure for many afflictions.
From Elizabethan to Georgian times it was a resort city for the wealthy.
As a result of its popularity during the latter period, the city contains
many fine examples of Georgian architecture, most notably the Royal Crescent.
The city has a population of over 80,000 and is a World Heritage Site. |
| Bath is centred on the bottom
of the Avon Valley, located at the southern edge of the Cotswolds,
a range of limestone hills designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty. The hills that surround and make up the city have a maximum altitude
of 238 m (780 ft) on the Lansdown plateau. It has an area of 11 mile²
(29 km²).[2] The surrounding hills give Bath its steep streets
and make its buildings appear to climb the slopes. The flood plain of the
River Avon, which runs through the centre of the city, is at an altitude
of 17 metres (56 ft). The river, once an unnavigable series of braided
streams broken up by swamps and ponds, has been managed by weirs into a
single channel. Nevertheless, periodic flooding was normal until major
flood control works in the 1970s; this shortened the life of many buildings
in the lowest part of the city. The city has the hottest geothermal
springs in the UK. They are the only natural water sources over 40°C
in the UK. These springs are sometimes claimed to be the country's only
hot springs.[3] Three of these springs feed the thermae baths. |
