Bath is one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. With its Georgian architecture, sweeping crescents, terraces and villas it was one of the most fashionable cities in 18th century Britain. Yet in 1700 it was a small resort catering for the sick. It was transformed at the hands of Beau Nash, the son of a bottlemaker from Swansea.
