The city of Bath
1. Bath is a spectacularly beautiful city which stands on the River Avon among the hills of England’s West Country. The city’s compactness and remarkable architecture - Roman baths and wide Georgian terraces - combine to produce one of the most elegant sights in Europe. The ancient Celts, who first inhabited this area, believed that Bath’s hot springs were sacred, but it was the Romans who built the temple and the famous baths - now restored to their original glory and shine.
2. In the early eighteenth century, under the direction of the socialite, Beau Nash, Bath became England’s main spa town, where the rich and celebrated members of fashionable society gathered to ‘take the waters’ and enjoy its theatres and concert rooms. During this period the famous architect, John Wood, laid the foundations for a new Georgian city to be built using the honey-coloured stone that gives Bath its quality.
3. The City of Bath was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1987. The city has a variety of theatres, museums, and other cultural and sporting places, which have helped to make it a major centre for tourism, with over one million staying visitors and 3.8 million day visitors to the city each year. The city has two universities and several schools and colleges.
4. London is approximately one hour and a quarter from Bath by intercity train, and Bristol is about fifteen minutes away. For those looking for quieter retreats, Bath is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with the Cotswolds to the north, the Mendips to the south-west and, just across the Severn Bridge, the Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean. The coast at Weston-super-Mare or South Wales is also within easy reach.
A. Cultural and athletic life of the city attracts tourists from all over the world.
B. Feel the architectural beauty of Bath.
C. Transport system of England.
D. The comfortable location of the city.
E. The spa was founded by the Romans.
F. The member of fashionable society made Bath the main spa town.
