Assessor comments

"A beautifully presented, coherently themed and thought provoking attraction."

Overview

No. 1 Royal Crescent is a museum which has been decorated and furnished just as it might have been during the period 1776–1796. The rooms feature historic furniture, pictures and objects that reveal what life was like for Bath’s fashionable residents – both upstairs and downstairs. The new immersive experience brings the house to life through film and sound so that visitors can get a very real sense of what it would have been like to live there.

About the area

Somerset remains rural and unspoiled, and ever popular areas to visit are the limestone and red sandstone Mendip Hills rising to over 1,000 feet, and by complete contrast, to the south and southwest, the flat landscape of the Somerset Levels. Another popular spot, the Quantocks, once the haunt of poets Coleridge and Wordsworth, are noted for their gentle slopes, heather-covered moorland expanses and red deer.
