Centrally located in the heart of the city of Bath, our Bath Leat community reflects its surroundings in more ways than one. Famously labelled the UK’s original Wellbeing Destination, the city of Bath is rich in heritage, culture and breathtaking architecture. Look beyond its World Heritage status and you’ll discover a city that sparks inspiration and warms your soul.
Rooted in Roman History, the city features the magnificent Roman Baths and Temple that were built around the natural hot spring in 60 and 70 AD in the first few decades of Roman Britain. Today, remains of coins, jewellery and sculptures stand proud in the historical destination.
Brimming with history, the Theatre Royal Bath is one of the oldest working theatres in Britain and was described by the Theatres Trust as “one of the most important surviving examples of Georgian theatre architecture.” Comprising three auditoria, the Main House, Ustinov Studio and The Egg theatre for Children, a wonderfully varied programme with top quality entertainment is on offer all year round.
If food is your passion, The city’s status as a destination for the UK’s great and good has long made it home to some of the country’s most famous meeting and eating spaces, which offer sophisticated dining to this day. Once patronised by Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, The Pump Rooms offers the opportunity to delight in a Champagne brunch, afternoon tea or dinner whilst sitting back and enjoying the classical strains of the Pump Room Trio and resident pianist. Browns’ is another must; here you can dine in a beautiful listed building while admiring views of the Abbey, through this former police station’s huge windows and from its outdoor terrace.
Bath has always been a place of leisure, and it remains a centre of sporting prowess. The city’s great facilities and friendly clubs make Bath a fantastic place to keep your eye in – or find love for a new sport or activity. Bath Bowling Club welcomes new members whether they know how to play, have a little experience, or none at all. Relax after a game at the clubhouse with its bar, kitchen and lovely outdoor social space.
The city centre’s highstreet and quaint roads are the perfect destination for shopping. Here you’ll find a variety of independent shops including Paxton & Whitfield - Britain’s oldest cheesemonger with over 200 years’ history of sourcing and maturing exceptional cheese - and Topping & Company Booksellers - the biggest independent bookshop to open in living memory. A bustling Farmers’ Market is hosted on a Saturday morning under the vaulted glass ceiling of Green Park Station.
