The center of Bath contains most of the city's history, culture, art, music, attractions and restaurants. The Museum of the famous Roman Baths, namesake for the city are here. It's a walk-friendly city with many of the most interesting sites within easy access of one another. Make sure you visit the pretty shopping lane between the Royal Crescent and Brock Street. Lovely independent, unusual shops and a few excellent restaurants.

Oldfield Park is close to the City Centre and its main thoroughfare; you'll know you are in the Bear Flat shopping area when you see the polar bear on the roof of The Bear Pub. It's very pleasant to walk in this area in summer - the residents take great pride in filling their window boxes and yards with colorful flowers. 

The upscale, residential Lansdown area, home (although further out of Bath) to the Lansdown Horse Racing Course, is also dotted with antique shops.

Everything in Larkhall can be easily accessed off the main road. Homes and families of all income levels can be found in this charming old village.

The neighborhoods of Weston and Newbridge are mainly residential.
