Bath is a city (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_status_in_the_United_Kingdom) in South West England (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_West_England) most famous for its baths fed by three hot springs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_spring). It is situated 96.8 miles (155.8 km) west of Charing Cross in London (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London). Its residents style themselves 'Bathonians'.
The city was first documented as a Roman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Britain)spa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spa), although tradition suggests that it was founded earlier. The waters from its spring were believed to be a cure for many afflictions. From Elizabethan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabethan_era) to Georgian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgian_era) times it was a resort city for the wealthy. As a result of its popularity during the latter period, the city contains many fine examples of Georgian architecture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgian_architecture), most notably the Royal Crescent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Crescent). The city has a population of over 80,000 and is a World Heritage Site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Heritage_Site).
Bath is located at 51°22′34″N, 2°21′35″W (http://kvaleberg.com/extensions/mapsources/index.php?params=51_22_34_N_2_21_35_W_)[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath#endnote_coords). It is approximately 25 kilometres (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilometre) (15 miles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mile)) south-east of the larger city and port of Bristol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol), to which it is linked by the A4 road (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A4_road), and is a similar distance south of the M4 motorway (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_motorway). Its main railway station, Bath Spa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_Spa_railway_station), lies on the Great Western Railway (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Western_Railway), the main line (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Western_Main_Line) between Bristol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol) and London (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London), as well as the line linking Cardiff with Portsmouth.
Bath is connected to Bristol and the sea by the River Avon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Avon%2C_Bristol), navigable via locks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canal_lock) by small boats. The river was connected to the River Thames (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Thames) and London by the Kennet and Avon Canal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennet_and_Avon_Canal) in 1810; this waterwayclosed for many years, but restored in the last years of the 20th centuryis now popular among users of narrow boats (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrow_boat), and was historically an important water route to London.
