Why go

No. 1 Royal Crescent is a historic house museum owned and cared for by Bath Preservation Trust, in the first house built on the Royal Crescent. The museum says the house has been decorated and furnished as it might have been between 1776 and 1796, showing life both upstairs and downstairs, and that a changing programme of exhibitions is held in its gallery. Its FAQ says the Royal Crescent remains a residential community and that its privately occupied houses cannot generally be entered, but that No. 1 is open as a historic house museum. The FAQ recommends booking tickets online to guarantee entry when planning a visit in advance. This record is the museum house, not the Royal Crescent as a whole.

City

Bath

Bath is a city in Somerset, England; the City of Bath World Heritage Site's own website says it was inscribed by UNESCO in 1987 for its hot springs, Roman archaeology, Georgian buildings and landscape setting, and again in 2021 as one of the Great Spa Towns of Europe. XTOUR maps the Roman Baths, Bath Abbey, the Holburne Museum, No. 1 Royal Crescent and Pulteney Bridge in the city, and treats Stonehenge and Avebury in Wiltshire as places reached from Bath, not as part of it.
