Lansdown Crescent
Lansdown Crescent is a quieter Georgian residential curve high above central Bath. The uphill journey makes sense for architecture and a hilltop prospect, with exterior viewing from the public way.
John Palmer's late Georgian crescent shows another answer to the curved-terrace idea after the Royal Crescent. Its twenty-house front sits higher on Lansdown Hill, changing the relationship between Bath's architecture and the city below. Come if you enjoy comparing the crescents and are prepared for the climb; the houses themselves are private.
What to look for
Twenty houses form the crescent's curved Georgian front.
Its hilltop position gives a prospect over central Bath.
The setting is higher than the Royal Crescent below.
Useful to know
Allow for the uphill approach from the centre; this is a better fit for an architecture walk than a quick flat detour.
View the terrace from public space and respect the privacy of the homes.
