Bath's Georgian Roots: Royal Crescent

Finally, there's Royal Crescent. This monumental semicircular sweep of residential townhouses is famous for its breathtakingly uniform, palace-like façade. No.1 Royal Crescent is open to the public (most homes on the crescent remain privately owned) and provides a rare glimpse into what life was like for the wealthy – along with their not-so-wealthy servants – in the 1770s. A variety of guided tours, educational events, and themed itineraries are available.

Fashion Museum Bath

After taking in Bath's splendid architecture, you'll no doubt want to learn a little more about the styles and fashions that would have adorned the residents of the city's many exquisite homes. The Fashion Museum – housed in the architecturally stunning Assembly Rooms – contains a world-class collection of contemporary and historical clothing, including 150 dressed figures and more than 30,000 original items dating from the late 16th century to the present day.
