History
Bath’s core grew from Roman thermal springs; the Royal Crescent and surrounding terraces are prime examples of Georgian urban design. Cotswold towns prospered on medieval wool and cloth trades.
Conservation
The Cotswolds have numerous protected landscapes and active path-maintenance programs; visitors are asked to follow public footpaths, take litter home, and respect private farmland.
