Many consider this to be Bath’s most appealing and desirable area – a wealth of prestigious Georgian townhouses and crescents served by an abundance of excellent state and private schools, such as Kingswood and the Royal High schools. Upper Lansdown has recently been regenerated by a high quality development of contemporary family houses and a brand new primary academy, where Ministry of Defence offices once stood. Those living in Lansdown are usually treated to stunning panoramas of the city, its elevated position rewarding the residents with the city’s finest views. The city centre is just a short distance away, and the M4 can be conveniently accessed via Freezinghill Lane.
