England Vacation Rentals - Bath
A great way to see Bath is to spend a week in a vacation rental apartment in the historic Georgian center. Walk around the Circus and the Royal Crescent in the footsteps of Jane Austen and other famous Georgians. Have a glass of the healing (and smelly) natural spring water at the Pump Room. See the original baths built by the ancient Romans who settled this area. County - in Somerset
