So, what’s generating this activity? First and foremost we can blame Tony Robinson and his cronies from The Time Team. They made archaeology exciting. Every week this intrepid band of historians dive head first into our history unearthing ancient artefacts within an impossible time frame. It’s what Eddie Izzard once called ‘speed archaeology’. At the time he was speaking in jest, but as they say in television, even jokes have a way of becoming new programmes.
The second factor is the growth in holidays within these shores. In part this is motivated by the credit crunch. Rather than lavish expense on a foreign trip, why not stay within these shores? However, the British tourist board has been pretty effective in repackaging the UK as a potential destination. Rather than compete with sunnier climes they instead focus on the core things Britain offers: namely our heritage. All this means is a surge in the number of luxury hotels in Bath and other historic cities.
Bath has plenty of that to go around. Rumour has it that the city was founded when Prince Bladud, father of King Lear, caught leprosy. He was banished from caught and forced to wallow in the mud with the pigs. Fortunately for him the mud, it seemed, had magical healing properties and he was cured. Later he became King and founded the ancient city of Bath.
In reality there’s probably not much truth in this story. The real origin lies buried in the dim and distant past, but why ruin a good story? Suffice to say that if you’re looking for history then you should look no further than Bath.
Many people are doing just that and a new and more affluent group of visitors are heading out west. They bring certain demands. They don’t want a simple B&B or Travel Lodge. What they want are genuine luxury hotels and Bath has plenty of them to go around. Depending on where you stay they serve as a perfect base to visit this beautiful and historic city.
What’s more there’s never been a better time to plan your visit. Even the luxury hotels of Bath are gearing up for extreme competition and there are some good deals available. Use the web wisely. Shop around to get the best deal.
