Royal Crescent inspired a wave of similar crescent-shaped residential developments across the UK and is one of Bath’s most-visited architectural landmarks. Most walking tours of Bath typically pass by Royal Crescent, as well as other big-name attractions in town such as the Roman Baths and Bath Abbey.
For a more in-depth look at this trendsetting development, enter Number 1 Royal Crescent, a museum illuminating the living conditions of the crescent’s wealthy 18th-century residents as well as the servants who waited on them. It’s also possible for travelers to stay at 16 Royal Crescent, which has been converted into an upmarket hotel.
