The Beauty of Bath: A photographic celebration and visitor guide

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.”
