If you are a fan of architecture then basing yourself in Bath holiday homes for a UK break is a must. This beautiful Somerset city is itself a Unesco World Heritage site so it should come as little surprise that within its boundaries it boasts a wealth of gorgeous architecture, giving you a glance at its rich history. But which sites should you make time for when there is so much to see and do? Pulteney Bridge is one absolute must and don't be surprised if you feel as though you have been transported to Florence or Venice when you cross it. Built for the MP William Pulteney and designed by Robert Adam, the structure is one of the most pristine surviving examples of Georgian architecture. However, it is not only this that marks the crossing as special. It is also one of only a handful of bridges in the world that features shops on both its sides and across its entire length. This makes it the perfect place to browse after you have taken a stroll up the River Avon. Next on your itinerary should be a visit to the Royal Crescent. This glorious arc of townhouses will be instantly recognisable to you as it is been featured in several films and television programmes, with its 30 elegant properties each facing towards a well-kept green. Today, the majority of the Georgian homes - which were designed by John Wood the Younger and constructed in the latter half of the 1700s - are occupied, but if you want to take a look inside one of them you are in luck - Number 1 is open to the public. The final piece of architecture you should go and see while you are in Bath will take you back much further in time. Bath Abbey is a Grade I listed building and one of the best examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture. It is still a popular place of worship and its location, just a short distance from the iconic Roman Baths, means there should be no excuse for you not to have a look round. Manor Cottages offers a range of holiday homes and cottages in and around the beautiful Cotswolds. If you are looking for Bath holiday homes then why not come and see what we have to offer?
