Bathe Yourself in the Culture of Bath

Bath is a city that feels like a palatial garden, with squares, terraces, facades, and bridges that are intermittently placed in and around shades of green. While the origins of Bath are shrouded in mystery, we know that it was, to some degree, settled by the Celts, but it didn’t come into its own until the Romans discovered it in the first century AD during the Roman invasion. The focal point of this settlement was, of course, the hot springs, and it was this foundation that temples and walls were constructed to form hubs of social activity. When the Roman Empire collapsed, and their presence faded, the spas fell into disrepair and were lost, it wasn’t until the 18th century that the springs were rediscovered. Under King George I, II, and III, Bath began to flourish as a cultural hotspot as great restoration projects were undertaken and since then it has become the famed elegant city of art, literature, and stunning architecture that we see today.

British Motor History and the Goodwood Revival

It is revered for its sheer spectacle and attention to detail, all of which is wrapped up in a slick post-war visage that is laden with style and moxie. At its core, the revival is a celebration of the best of British motorsport in the period between 1948 and 1966.
