The Beauty of Bath cover

THE BEAUTY OF BATH by Casper Farrell, is a visitor guidebook and photographic celebration of the twin UNESCO Heritage city of Bath. This Georgian Spa town deserved a lavish guidebook, and just as Bath was voted the number one city to visit in the UK by Condé Nast and Premier Inn, it now has one.


 The author Casper Farrell is a Bath local and a professional photographer and writer, as well as local apple grower and cider maker.

 

“Bath has never been just another city on the map, it is a place of wonder. From my earliest visits to its grand terraces, cobbled streets and sweeping crescents, the city captured my imagination, leaving an imprint that has shaped both my life and my work. As a local, Bath is woven into my own story; a place of endless inspiration, discovery and quiet familiarity, sparking a love of Georgian architecture and a fascination with the stories woven into the fabric of the city.”

 

Casper’s guidebook contains everything you need for a great trip to Bath including all the places to visit, and insider information about where to stay, eat, drink and shop. It is also a beautiful souvenir of your trip featuring over 150 stunning photographs of the city. If you want to learn about the history of Bath there are several illustrated essays including a Timeline of Bath’s history, the architecture of Bath in the Georgian Period, Georgian Balls and Beau Nash, Jane Austen and Bath and the use of Bath for TV and Films – Bridgerton.
