Welcome to Bath Portal: A resource on City of Bath and University of Bath. I am Aswin Nagarajan and I graduated from University of Bath (2000 June) with a Masters Degree in Electronics Engineering. I consider myself very lucky to have had the opportunity to live and study in Bath for four years. As a gesture of goodwill to this beautiful city and university - I have developed an on-line "Showcase of Bath - Bath Portal".

Bath, recognised as one of the world's most beautiful and unique cities, is one of only four European cities to be designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site - the others being Florence, Venice and Strasbourg. Bath is a spectacularly beautiful city which stands on the River Avon among the hills of England’s West Country. The city’s compactness and striking architecture - Roman baths and sweeping Georgian terraces - combine to produce one of the most elegant sights in Europe. The ancient Celts, who first inhabited this area, believed that Bath’s hot springs were sacred, but it was the Romans who built the temple and the famous baths - now restored to their original grandeur.

In the early eighteenth century, under the direction of the socialite, Beau Nash, Bath became England’s premier spa town, where the rich and celebrated members of fashionable society gathered to ‘take the waters’ and enjoy the town’s theatres and concert rooms. During this period the renowned architect, John Wood, laid the foundations for a new Georgian city to be built using the honey-coloured stone that gives Bath its mellow and indefinable quality. No holiday to England is complete without a visit to the Roman City of Bath.

Now that you are here, do take some time to Explore the City of Bath. These pages include a compilation of some pictures and scenes of Bath. I have also pointed out Key Visits that are a must in Bath for every visitor and Bathonians, along with some Unique Visits in and around Bath. I went on all these Unique visits and can say that they were fantastic and well worth it if you find the time.
