Crowned number one
The city of Bath has been named top-ranked medium-sized city, with an overall rating of 82%, following a survey of nearly 4,000 Which? members. One survey respondent described it as ‘one of the top sites in the UK, indeed Europe,’ for its architecture and historical sites. The city itself is a Unesco World Heritage Centre.
It’s best known for its beautifully preserved Roman baths, the Georgian houses of the Royal Crescent and its literary connections, celebrated at the Jane Austen centre. The National Trust property Prior Park Landscape Garden - located close to The Apartment - received a mention for its 18th-century grounds designed by Alexander Pope and Capability Brown.
In its report, published on 23 May 2024, consumer champion Which? ranked Bath five stars for cultural sights and tourist attractions; and four stars for food and drink and accommodation.
