Introduction

The Royal Crescent is Bath's grandest Georgian ensemble, designed by John Wood the Younger between 1767 and 1774 — thirty terraced houses sweeping a graceful arc above Royal Victoria Park. It is hailed as one of the supreme achievements of British town planning and classical façades. At dusk the arc is outlined in warm light, especially serene and elegant.
