Full Description
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."
