Bath

Bath is the perfect getaway thanks to its rich Roman history, charming Georgian architecture and the numerous independent cafes that will make you want to stay here for more than just a couple of days! Probably most famous for its opulent and historic baths, the city is a photographer’s dream. It also has a thriving cultural scene with plenty of art, theatre, exhibitions, live music and don't miss the hillside views across the whole city.
