Location
Bath itself is a lively city with a rich cultural heritage. It is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list twice; for its elegant Georgian architecture and as one of the Great Spas of Europe. Small enough to explore on foot, you can discover its beautiful stone buildings and the natural hot springs, which gave the city its name.
In addition to its museums, galleries, and historical attractions, Bath has a thriving food scene, plenty of nightlife, and year-round arts festivals. The Students’ Union also offers great volunteering opportunities to get involved with the local community.
