The word ‘magical’ may be overused, but Bath really is a magical place. The largest city in Somerset, Bath is known for and named after its Roman Baths, constructed during the 350-year Roman occupation of Britain. But it was in the Georgian era that Bath really came into its own, when the city became England’s most fashionable spa town. People came from all across the country to ‘take the waters’, gossip in the Assembly Rooms, and admire the city’s beautiful Georgian architecture
But no visit to Bath would be complete without a stroll along the iconic Royal Crescent, a sweeping row of 30 terraced houses built in the late 18th century. But these aren’t just any old terraced houses: with Ionic columns and Palladian entablature, the Royal Crescent is almost temple-like in its appearance. This is Georgian architecture at its finest!
This design shows the Royal Crescent in all of its glory: blue skies overhead, and the Crescent’s distinctive honey-coloured limestone almost glowing in the sunlight. Go on: brighten up your kitchen with this spectacular tea towel.
