The Royal Crescent is one of Bath's great Georgian terraces. It was built on on a high point overlooking the city between 1767 and 1774 by John Wood the younger, son of the architect of Queen Square. The facade is 500 feet (150m) long and features 114 Ionic columns on its first floor. Lawns and parkland form the space immediately in front of the crescent. Interestingly, in contrast with the repetitious uniformity of the front of the building the rear of each dwelling is invariably different from its neighbour.
