Thermae Bath Spa
Water from the King's, Cross and Hetling springs, which rise at around 45 °C, fills all four baths here, including an open-air rooftop pool above the city and the indoor Minerva Bath. The spa reopened bathing in Bath's hot springs in 2006, after the water had run unused into the River Avon since the 1970s.
