Retirement Properties Spotlight in Larkhall

Larkhall is just to the north-east of one of Europe‘s most beautiful cities. Bath owes its start in life to the hot springs which gave it a magical presence first to the Celts and then the Romans. In the 15th century Bath was still a relatively small market town but by the end of the sevententh century it had started becoming a fashionable place to visit outside London. It was propelled by such national figures as Richard ‘Beau‘ Nash into the countries psyche as the place to be seen.

The city‘s Georgian heyday is celebrated in the Pump Room, built above the famous Baths, and where 18th century society came to take the waters. John Wood is perhaps the most famous architect to be associated with Bath and Queen Square is his interpretation of the Palladian architectural style. The city has numerous mansions and villas and one of the most beautiful crescents in Europe, Royal Crescent. Bath Abbey is known as the lantern of the west as it features more glass than wall.
