BEYOND LONDON<br />
Why not escape from the hustle and bustle of city<br />
life with a visit to one of Britain’s best-loved areas?<br />
Bath<br />
This stunning Somerset city, set in rolling countryside, is famous for its<br />
natural hot springs and glorious Georgian architecture, says Paul Critcher<br />
Water, wool and architecture could be said<br />
to have defined the beautiful city of Bath<br />
in England’s West Country. Water, because<br />
of its Roman thermal spa and baths; wool,<br />
because of its importance as a centre for<br />
the industry in the Middle Ages; and architecture,<br />
in the shape of many Palladian buildings. Bath’s<br />
culture, history and architecture have led to it<br />
being the only city in the UK to be designated in<br />
its entirety as a World Heritage site.<br />
