Bath: The Roman Baths, the Royal Crescent and Pulteney Bridge
275 XP
Bath is a World Heritage Site for two reasons. The Romans built their baths round the Sacred Spring of Sulis Minerva, and the Georgian Pump Room still serves the water. The Georgians built the city: John Wood the Elder began the Circus in 1754, his son built the Royal Crescent in 1767–74, and Robert Adam's Pulteney Bridge of 1774 carries shops across the Avon. Jane Austen lived here from 1801 to 1806.
