Even now, after sencturies, their magnificent ruins continue to fascinate us...

Bath is a city in Somerset, England most famous for its baths fed by three hot springs. It is situated 99 miles (159 km) west of Central London and 13 miles (21 km) south east of Bristol. The city is founded around the only naturally occurring hot springs in the United Kingdom. It was first documented as a Roman spa, although tradition suggests that it was founded earlier. The waters from its spring were believed to be a cure for many afflictions. From Elizabethan to Georgian times it was a resort city for the wealthy. As a result of its popularity during the latter period, the city contains many fine examples of Georgian architecture, most notably the Royal Crescent. The city has a population of over 90144 and is a World Heritage Site although this could be at risk after plans for a large scale complex of high rise flats were unveiled.

A short tourism video about Coleshill in Warwickshire. Lying on two rivers and surrounded by countryside, Coleshill still retains its original character in a steep main street featuring splendid Georgian architecture. Once an important staging post on the ancient Roman trading route of London to Chester, the town has many historic coaching inns dotted throughout. The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul is decorated in the style of the 14th and 15th centuries. And On Church Hill you can still see the town stocks, which are unique to Warwickshire as they combine a pillory and whipping post. They now stand outside the recently refurbished Old Market Hall which houses an exhibition of Coleshill past and present. See www.warwickshire.gov.uk for more details.

This panoramic shot of the Buxton skyline captures the famous Georgian crescent designed by John Carr of York for William Cavendish, the Duke of Devonshire, and the 18th century stable block, with its large slate domed roof, also built for the Duke. The film itself would be shown in the Pavilion theatre, part of the Opera House built by Frank Matcham under the patronage of Mr Tweedale, a travelling film exhibitor who presented a show in early February 1901. Buxton skyline appears as familiar today as it would be to the Edwardian audience and shows the dramatic skyline outlined against the Derbyshire landscape.

Townley Hall is a magnificent Georgian mansion built just over 200 years ago on a hilltop setting. Today it is surrounded by 60 acres of rolling parkland overlooking the Boyne Valley, very close to the site of the famous battle. The location is strikingly beautiful and peaceful. The House is an architectural jewel. It is renowned for its exquisite interior, wonderful proportions, the quality of the materials and craftsmanship used in its construction, and, in particular, its magnificent staircase of which Country Life magazine once said There is nothing lovelier in the Georgian architecture of these islands than the rotunda and staircase at Townley Hall. Townley Hall is therefore a fitting venue for Art in Action. Most of the event takes place in the grounds, but all lectures and most of the musical recitals take place in the House itself. One of the lectures this year is an illustrated talk on Townley Hall and its Architecture. www.artinaction.ie
