A lovely place to visit and wander around, admiring the front doors with their individual door knockers and the stunningly elegant Georgian architecture. Not far from the epicentre of the city and a very pleasant walk.
A lovely circle of beautiful Georgian buildings all well maintained; well worth a walk around on a beautiful sunny day.
If you walk uphill from the centre of Bath you will eventually arrive at the Circus. This 360° circle of Georgian terraced houses is reminiscent of the Colosseum. The three clearly defined floors of the buildings are each decorated with a different style of column, Greek, Roman & Corinthian. If you look closely at the top of the first floor you will see symbols all the way along, showing icons from the arts & sciences, some say there are masonic symbols in there too. The Circus was completed in 1768 a few years before the Royal Crescent just five minutes walk away. It is tri-sected if that is a word, by three roads and at the centre is a small park.
This circus typifies Georgian architecture and is of the grand scale, and it worth a trip to the city in its own right.One marvels at the foresight of the planners and builders who crafted this feature
The food was really good and the place is popular with locals. There is a pleasant atmosphere and the staff were very pleasant. The service was, on the whole good, although slipped a little in minor ways, certainly not enough to impact on a very enjoyable meal.
Very impressive Georgian buildings which are for the most part still in first rate condition. Nice grassed area in the centre to sit during better weather.
Similar architecture to the Royal Crescent, but here going all the way round a cenral park dominated by a huge tree. Peaceful and lovely.
Beautiful architecture. Nice grass area you can have a picnic on in the summer. Originally called the King’s Circus, it consists of three curved segments of Grade I listed townhouses, arranged in a circular shape. For more info. see: http://visitbath.co.uk/things-to-do/the-circus-p56201
Your one step away from the royal crescent when you get to the circus and in my opinion I have to give it one star less so that the royal crescent takes the glory, unfair...yes....as there is little between them.
These homes are beautiful, but really you will only walk up the hill from Bath for a photo opportunity
