Right in the heart of Bath is one of Britain’s oldest theatres, and probably its most beautiful: the Theatre Royal. Before 1805 the theatre was in Orchard Street (Sarah Siddons played there from 1778; now it is a Freemason’s Hall). In addition to the Theatre Royal, there are regular productions at the Rondo, two miles [...]

Pulteney Bridge, with its sweeping horseshoe-shaped weir, is one of Bath’s most famous images. The bridge, which incorporates shops, was built by Robert Adam in 1769. The estimated cost of the bridge was £1, 000. It ended up costing £10, 000 which, over 200 years ago, was the equivalent of several million pounds today. Boat [...]

Bath’s splendid Abbey, dating from 1499, marks the very centre of the town. Bath is a city but this is not classed as a cathedral – the cathedral for the diocese is in Wells, 20 miles away. The carvings on the front of the Abbey were recently restored to their full glory, and show off [...]
