Field notes
Somerset spa town — UNESCO-listed twice (the Roman baths and the Georgian city centre). The dense walkable historic core anchored by the Royal Crescent, the Circus, and the Pump Room is genuinely uncluttered. UK has no DNV. The structural draws are arguably the most beautiful small UK city, the only natural hot springs in the country (Thermae Bath Spa is the modern complex), and Bristol proximity (15 min by train) for big-city access. Tourist density is real (6+ million visitors annually).
