It is one of the most popular holiday destinations in England. One of the main tourist attraction’s is the Thermae Bath Spa which opened in 2006. Visitors to the city are now able to enjoy Britain’s only natural thermal waters as the Celts and Romans did over 2,000 years ago. Visitors are drawn to Bath for its famous Roman remains and by some of the finest architectural sights in Europe such as the Royal Crescent, The Circus and Pulteney Bridge. Bath is well known for its classical 18th century Georgian architecture and it is notable that there are more Grade I listed buildings in Bath than in central London. Bath is considered to be one of the best shopping destinations in the south-west. There are also excellent schools in both the state and private sectors and two universities. The city centre is within a level walk across the famous Pulteney Bridge while The Holburne Museum stands at the eastern end of Great Pulteney Street, beyond which are Sydney Gardens and the Kennet & Avon Canal with its towpath providing access to open countryside.
