The ultimate insider's guide to Bath for locals and experienced travellers
Features interesting and unusual places not found in traditional travel guides
Part of the international 111 Places series with over 650 titles and 3.8 million copies in print worldwide
Appeals to both the local market (more than 94,000people call Bath home)and the tourist market (more than 6 million people visit Bath every year!)
Fully illustrated with 111 full-page colour photographs
Bath is a city of contrasts. Legend has it that its hot springs were discovered by pigs cured of leprosy after wallowing in warm mud. Beyond the world-famous Georgian crescents and Roman ruins lies a small city with an unexpected past: once home to giant industrial cranes shipped worldwide, the birthplace of Plasticine, and a place whose history narrowly escaped destruction by over-zealous planners. Its beauty and ancient origins even made it a bombing target during the Second World War. Most of the quirky corners featured in this book are within easy walking distance. But Bath's UNESCO World Heritage status extends beyond hot springs, Roman archaeology and Georgian architecture to include its dramatic natural setting, so be prepared for the occasional uphill walk. Along the way you'll discover burial grounds and bollards, a slippery lane and a sentry box. Why was England's first king crowned here? Where are traces of historic floods? Who built a treasure-filled tower to escape dull company - and why is one red postbox grey?
