| The
Royal Crescent (pictured above)
designed by John Wood Junior in 1754 is
a world famous landmark. The Crescent
comprises a series of adjoining houses
each on five floors including a basement
overlooking The Royal Crescent
Lawns with it's Ha-Ha Wall and
The Royal Victoria Park.
A wide
flat footpath edges the original stone
set road. Iron railings front a crescent
shaped lawn with a wide vista of parklands
and the City beyond.
The
Royal Crescent is the central feature
of the most important of many local historic
districts in Bath comprising eight Crescents,
Brock Street, St.
Margaret’s Buildings and
The Circus.
Nowadays
each house in the Royal Crescent has been
divided into several apartments all for
domestic accommodation. Just one or two
houses remain intact as single family
residences.
The
only commercial establishment is the world
famous Royal Crescent Hotel
and Gardens next door
in the centre of the Crescent. Make sure
you take at least one dinner reservation
or walk into the Gardens for a drink at
the Bar.
