Coming to Bath 2008
The City of Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in the south west of England. Founded by the Romans as a thermal spa, Bath became an important centre of the wool industry in the Middle Ages. In the 18th century, under King George III, it developed into an elegant town with neoclassical Palladian buildings, which blend harmoniously with the Roman baths.
