History
Julius Caesar invaded Britain in 55 or 54 AD. 
The city of Bath in South West England was founded in the 1st century AD by the Romans who used the natural hot springs as a thermal spa.

Bath's hot springs are the only ones in Britain. 250,000 gallons of water flow through the springs each day. 
There are three main springs - the King's Spring, the Hetling Spring and the Cross Bath Spring. 
The hot springs have played a central role in every stage of the city's development, creating a unique social history and culture where the waters are central to healing and recreation.
