Is Bath the World’s Most Beautiful City?
Royal Crescent is the famous curved street of Georgian buildings in Bath, often called the world’s most beautiful city. It was said to be based on the ‘sun and moon’ design of Stonehenge. Although most of the buildings are no longer resident, they are highly protected and still in use.
One is a museum, and one is a hotel. The street is often used for period TV dramas (it was featured in the episode of Inspector Morse, where he took his lady friend there in the 1997 episode Death is Now My Neighbour (featuring Judy Loe, the widow of Richard Beckinsale and mother of actress Katy Beckinsale).
Opposite Royal Crescent is Royal Victoria Park, a huge green space loved by locals. This 57 acres features botanical gardens, a boating pond and children’s play area.
