Roman Baths and Pumproom
Closest Hotels to Roman Baths and Pumproom:
The ancient Romans were the first to capitalise on the only natural hot spring in Britain, building a temple and bathing complex more than 2000 years ago in the city of Bath. The healing spring, which is located within the bathing complex, produces approximately 2,273,050 litres (500,000 gallons) of water per day at a temperature of 46.5°C (116°F). The baths were once one of the finest in the Roman world, although the Roman structure gradually fell into disrepair. It was not until a visit by the ailing Prince George in 1702 that the baths once again became a popular healing destination. Over the course of the town’s redevelopment, the Roman ruins were rediscovered (in 1879) and restored. Visitors can now view the Georgian grandeur of the Pump House and see the remains of the ancient Roman baths and temple.
