Bath - britain's Most Famous Spa
In the misty past, Britain's towering and crumbled castles have been a source of inspiration to poets and writers. Today, the spirit of Oxford Street and the West End theatre shows offer celebrity. All that Britain has to offer can be experienced once again in Bath – Britain’s favourite Spa town. Now join the real beauty of Britain’s history and merge it with something else entirely.
Shopping? No. Nor a visit to a mysterious castle, but Bath - Britain's favourite Spa town presents a more personal and relaxing experience that stimulates all of the senses today. Take the time to truly visit Bath and all its splendour with a real pampering spa experience.
From the 17th century, numerous multitudes of people ventured to a quaint little town in England called Bath to enjoy its therapeutic hot mineral springs. Bath remains high up on any tourist's list of must-see places in Britain. Bath shimmers in the sunlight, it's Georgian splendour rising majestically from the healing waters below.
Bath's mineral rich water was a great attraction in the 17th and 18th centuries, during which the great and the good flocked from all over Europe to experience it first hand. In time, the nurturing waters could be employed for the purpose of nonexclusive baths. As the hot springs drew more fame, more remote and personal healing pools contributed.
In 1978 fears for the public's health finally forced the hot springs of Britain's favourite spa town to close it's doors, seemingly for good. However, the history was so compelling visitors still travel to the area 100s of years later.
Bath is now open again for business. 2006 finally brough the means to reopen Bath's doors with brand new bathhouses as well as restoration of a few of the former bathhouses from the 18th century. The fluid springs stream byway of the Hetling, Cross, and King springs cumulatively. Put together, they supply close to 1 million liters of water daily at a temperature of 45 degree Celsius.
The architecture of the Roman Bath is a far cry from the newly built Spa just down the road. The fluid springs flow through the Hetling, Cross, and King springs. The newly reopened Spas mean that Bath's mineral rich water can once again be enjoyed by everybody.
