Why Royal Crescent matters
A curve of thirty Georgian townhouses overlooking a sweeping lawn, the Royal Crescent is the grandest address in Bath. Stand on the grass for a photo, and visit Number 1 to see how a wealthy household looked in the 18th century. It is a short walk from the city centre.
Talking points
- It is a half-ellipse terrace of honey-coloured stone.
- Number 1 is open as a museum.
- A lawn called the Ha-ha sweeps down below.
