A World Heritage City
While Bath has the unique distinction of being England's only World Heritage City, it is also an exciting and lively city with plenty for you to see and do on a student budget. Whether it's high culture or fun culture that you want, Bath offers it all! Its beauty and historical significance attract visitors from all over the world. The surrounding seven hills and the towers of Bath Abbey create a stunning impression on arrival.
As a student, though, you will get the chance to explore beyond the major tourist attractions and discover the hidden wealth of interesting and inexpensive shops, markets, cafes and restaurants. Bath is easy to reach, whether you are on the Sion Hill campus (within walking distance of the centre), or the Newton Park campus (where a bus service runs regularly from the campus into the town centre, into the early hours of the morning).
A World Heritage City
Famous for its Roman Baths, romantic riverside and elegant Georgian architecture, Bath boasts some of the most beautiful architectural masterpieces in Europe. The Royal Crescent, the Circus, the Abbey, the Pump Room and the Assembly Rooms are all essential features on any visitor's itinerary. And yet Bath is far more than a historical monument - it is bustling with life and entertainment.
If you enjoy visiting art galleries or museums, Bath has plenty to offer - no less than seventeen, in fact! The Victoria Art Gallery hosts one of the best programmes of temporary exhibitions in the region, and other galleries hold collections including East Asian Art, sculpture and ceramics. Bath's museums cover subjects as diverse as costume, the postal system, and antique books. The Jane Austen Centre tells the tale of the city's most famous resident.
Art, craft and design fairs are permanent fixtures on the events calendar, and are fascinating whether you're a collector or a browser.
